DISTANCE 51 light yearsSTARS six

One of the two bright twin stars of Gemini, and a celestial family portrait: what looks like a single star is actually six. Two bright pairs circle each other, while a third, fainter pair of red dwarfs orbits them both. Imagine a sky with six suns rising in shifting patterns. Castor is a reminder that single stars like our Sun are not the rule.
