Celectial bearing and elevation at 00:40
Multiple star systems are fascinating celestial arrangements featuring three or more stars grouped together, which may or may not be gravitationally bound. These systems can range from tightly orbiting pairs within a larger stellar structure to loosely associated stars that share a common region of the sky. They offer a unique glimpse into the diversity of stellar interactions and the complex dynamics that shape the universe. Whether gravitationally linked or optical groupings, multiple star systems captivate observers with their varied configurations and stories.
