“Binary System” - Animated painting
Sirius, α Canis Majoris // Wagner
Sirius (α Canis Majoris) is the brightest star in the night sky being one of Earth's closest neighbors at only 8.6 light years away. Although it appears solitary, it is actually a binary system: one star is a blue-white giant star and the other is a comparatively dim white dwarf.
The giant star is about twice the mass and size of the Sun, while the white dwarf is about the same mass as the Sun, but only about 90% the size of Earth!
The name Sirius comes from the Ancient Greek word Σείριος meaning "glowing" or "scorcher".

The celestial object of the day is Spica!
The brightest star in the constellation of Virgo is actually a binary system! And the closest to the sun. It's formed by a blue giant and a variable star, they orbit so close together that they've gained an ellipsodal shape, similar to that of an egg
Hello everyone, this is just a friendly reminder that, since there is no binary system, I don't see why we should want a body which is the expression of it. For example: I don't want to be neither a girl nor a boy, so why should my body be female or male? And also remember that there is no trinary system either. It's not: male, female, nonbinary. There are people who feel like both male and female, people who feel partly female/male and partly nonbinary and so on. There are people who don't care about fitting in your stupid boxes, because it's not about cis or not cis. Gender is a spectrum, don't act like giving three options is inclusive, because it's not. It's a step in the right direction and I appreciate it, but remember that gender doesn't work like that.

Heyo so starting off 2025 with a brand new character(s) (sort of)
Alternate universe versions of Prism and Chrome as part of a binary plural system (collectively named the "Glow System"), both working as soldiers working under a subdivision of a government-system international threat response named D-FEND, in which the division they're under is called The Breakouts, a group of the highest-class youthful soldiers!
Prism - The more excitable and emotional of the two members, and also is the Host of the system, being the main fronter for the vessel. He is an age slider, usually shifting between ages 15 to 20. They're also the more of the risk-taker of the two, often relying on luck and oppurtunity to succeed in missions.
Chrome - The more emotionally stunted and collected member. He takes the role of the Protector, usually taking over when someone tries to belittle or hurt Prism, whether physically or emotionally. His age is also a constant, at 20 year old. Being more knowledgable and tactical, he is much more precise and careful with his every action.
While the two are prone to slight disagreements with methods and morals, generally, the two operate rather smoothly together, with healthy amounts of communication, often either about missions or something as mundane as meals or activities. They're also able to communicate about information that the other has received, so the two are always relatively up to date about current situations.
Messier 40 - The Mistake
Otherwise known as Winnecke 4, this is the one Messier object that isn't really a messier object.
The whole point of Messiers catalogue was to point towards objects that looked like comets but were not, and yet upon his search he chose to include these two stars, I assume he may have thought they were an interesting double star to view, except, even that isn't true.
The slightly reddish (K type) star is a KIII evolving star 1000 light years from us in the constellation of Ursa Major, while the other G0V type star, a main sequence star similar to our own sun, but only 470 light years away.
Both require a fairly good telescope to view, which again makes it curious that Messier would have decided to catalogue this at all.
