The gallente transport ship is in a system with two stars.

Yea, every system I'm in.

Me and the other star.

Binary systems are rumored to exist, but we have yet to see one and live to tell the tale!!

IRL they're everywhere!

Our own solar system, IRL, is strongly suspected to be binary, based on new evidence. But the second star is so small, and so close to the main star, that it isn't exactly visible, if, indeed, it is there, at all. Most IRL binary systems are like that, though.

Being an amateur astronomer myself, i'd REALLY like the source of that claim!

Seconded, back that up Jarod.

Something discussed in one of my classes, recently. I'll ask my prof for the source he quoted from, next time I have that class.

Maybe if the secondary star is a neutron star and only a few kilometers across. But we'd see it rotate into view, and more important notice the mass drain out from Sol into the denser star.

Well, for a body to be a star is has to be huge! Bigger then Jupiter, and it was to have an orbit. It would emit light, and have a gravitational effect. After the centuries of constant observations (not to mention the few satellite we tossed into space to stare at the sun!) The solar eclipses that we first used to see the photosphere. We've observed nothing to back up your claim!

Possible, but the radiation would kill all life in a instant. I'm ignoring the effects of gravity here...

Our own solar system

There's only ONE solar system in the entire universe.

Damn, I wish I could kick everyone in the nuts repeatedly until they get it right,
including every single person at CCP who keeps making this stupid mistake.

I'll post it in another thread when I get the scoop.
It wasn't my claim. I'm not even studying anything related, in school. I'm a bio major. Just thought it would be awesome to take some other science classes, as electives.

Someone mentioned "neutron star", and that suddenly rings a bell. Need to talk to the man in the bowtie, again (no, not THAT man in the bowtie).

Now the first mis-conception is that a binary star system would have two stars orbiting each other at relatively close distances when in fact the opposite is often the case for example Sirius A & B is binary star system but you can barely see the other star.

This has bothered me over WH space that a dwarf star or in compass of a binary star only exits "HERE'.

Unintentionally the game engine only recognizes a single star as a system and elsewise a backdrop of another star.

If Chribba and Mintchiplol were in the same system at the same time! Yeah. That'd be it.
