Red Dwarfs Often Form in Pairs

Cosmic couples.

Many red dwarfs exist in binary or multiple star systems, interacting gravitationally and sometimes exchanging material.

Why This Matters

This impacts the orbital stability of planets and star evolution predictions.

It also allows astronomers to study gravitational effects in small star systems.

Did You Know?

Two red dwarfs can orbit each other in a complex cosmic dance.
