Sunlike stars often come in twos and threes, and astronomers and astrophysicists have long wondered why. Are these pairs and trios born as multiple stars orbiting the same point, or effect they meet up when the gravity of one star captures another?A unusual analysis out of Harvard and UC-Berkeley suggests that,in fact, nearly all stars are likely born with a twinincluding our own sun. The findings, or recently accepted for publication in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society,are based on observations of newborn stars in a large cloud in the constellation Perseus.
