DOUBLE STAR · the close dancers

DISTANCE 13 light yearsORBIT 44 years, tightly bound

A tight pair of small red dwarfs that circle each other in just 44 years, close enough that telescopes have watched them complete entire orbits since their discovery. The smaller one is a flare star with a habit of sudden outbursts. A pocket sized double star, perfect for patient observers.
