Multiple Star SystemA multiple star system is any star system in which more than one star is engaged in stable gravitational interaction. Typical multiple systems are binary stars, two stars orbiting each other; binaries can be orbited by a third star, forming a ternary or triple star, and there are more complex cases like binaries orbiting other binaries or ternaries, etc. Some multiple star systems contain as many as eight stars.
