University of Toronto AstroTours. Speaker: Stephen Ro, University of Toronto. Half of all stars in the night sky are actually in pairs or “binaries”. That is, instead of a singular star like our Sun, these systems have two stars orbiting each other. Life here on Earth fundamentally relies upon the Sun’s (relatively) stable and quiet nature. Binaries, on the other hand, are sometimes found to exchange mass and more often explode! In this talk, explore a variety of binary systems and discuss whether the consequences of having two Suns are worthwhile. Enjoy a planetarium show after the presentation (registration required).
