Space/Science » in reply to Two Suns in The Sky: Stellar Multiplicity in Exoplanet Systems

There goes another convenient fiction...

When I ran a course on Exoplanets at the University, this sort of stuff was not known, but "accepted wisdom" was that binary stars wouldn't have stable planets.

Just like accepted wisdom insisted that planets would have circular orbits and Jupiters would be out in the cold.

Sounds like there's a whole lot we just don't know.

More dreamers needed...
