I apologize, if I did anyway. But I think we need more styrofoam solar system mobiles in elementary school.

Seeing two points of light together in the same field of view is thrilling for you and me when we see a binary. But if you don't have much background in a binary system and never considered what our lives might be like in one (Helliconia by Aldis comes to mind), then it is just two points of light. If you are lucky then they aren't quite the same color.
