There is something special about the star system.
A group of scientists from around the world published a study in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society in June.
Two stars and a tertiary plant are part of the triple system, which also has a double system. It's most likely that the system started out as two separate things, but eventually merged.
Alejandro Vigna-Gomez said that it was the first of its kind. A lot of tertiary star systems are less massive. The big stars in this triple are very close together.
Two of the team's researchers hope to find out if there are more systems like this one and invite the public to look over the same data they used one more time.
There may be more compact systems buried in the data. We want to know if this type of system is common in our universe.
More funky multi-star systems may be possible given that quadruple-star systems exist.
