Binary systemIts story
In the small constellation Equuleus, the celestial colt, hums a yellow-white F-type binary system a mere 60 light-years away —a close neighbourhood on the cosmic scale. Its light departed as the 1960s drew to a close: humanity had just stepped onto the Moon and the world was shedding its old skin. Two suns locked in a gravitational dance write together a single point of pale light upon the firmament.
