Our Sun is a loner. It lacks a stellar companion hurtling through interstellar space with it. But weve known for a long time thats actually relatively rare - most stars have at least one gravitationally bound partner. Understanding how exactly those stars are related to each other is critical for observational campaigns - especially for those of exoplanets.
