Binary systems form when two celestial bodies orbit around a common center of mass
Everything does that. In the case of earth and sun this center of mass (barycenter) happens to be inside the sun. Earth and moon also has it inside earth. This barycenter being outside of both objects is the actual important thing.
What do you expect from CNN? But I loved the video.
But they quote the authors saying that, so at the very least twist what they actually said by omitting details.
Very probably. I am not defending them at all. I am only sharing this because of the video.
No worries mate, I just pointed that error out.
Fun fact: the current best hypothesis is that our own moon formed in a similar way
This is very cool
It also looks like the Firefox logo!
hmm…
