A Binary star system
A system of stars orbiting a common center of gravity where there is no mass at the center of gravity is known as a Kepler Rosette. Such an arrangement is theoretically possible but is unstable. No such an arrangement has (yet) been observed in the real universe.
All objects in a Kepler Rosette have to have identical mass and exactly the same kind of orbit (differing only in their phase angle) and must be evenly spaced on some multiple value of their phase angle. If the orbit of such a Rosette is eccentric then the system will pulsate in diameter on the period of the orbit.

2 stars orbiting a common center of gravity?
Two stars orbiting a common center of gravity is known as a binary star system. The center of gravity, or barycenter, is located at a point between the two stars based on their masses and proximity. The stars will appear to be in orbit around this point as they move through space.
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
How is the motion of the stars similar to the motion of the sun?
The stars we can see are all within our galaxy (the Mikey Way). In general all the stars are orbiting the center of the Mikey Way.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
What stars orbit the sun?
No stars orbit the Sun. The Sun is a star itself, and it is at the center of our solar system, with planets such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars orbiting around it.

What are binary pairs in a galaxy?
That means that two stars are close together, orbiting their common center of mass.
What is the relationship between planets stars and galaxies?
Planets generally orbit around stars. (Some interesting speculations suggest that there may be "free planets" that are not near any star.) Billions of these solar systems orbiting their common center of gravity form a galaxy.
What is the name when two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common center of gravity?
The stars are said to be a "gravitational binary pair"
Can a star also be a natural satellite?
In a sense, yes. There are binary star systems. These consist of two stars orbiting each other, or more properly, orbiting their barycenter, their combined center of gravity. You might think of each of them as the other's satellite.
Does Betelgeuse move?
Yes, all stars move. Betelgeuse is orbiting around the center of our galaxy.
What are stars found in pairs called?
Stars found in pairs are called binary stars. Binary stars orbit around a common center of mass due to gravitational attraction between them.
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
How is the motion of the stars similar to the motion of the sun?
The stars we can see are all within our galaxy (the Mikey Way). In general all the stars are orbiting the center of the Mikey Way.

Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What is the solution to the binary star system physics problem?
The solution to the binary star system physics problem involves using mathematical equations to calculate the orbits and interactions of two stars orbiting around a common center of mass. By applying principles of gravity and motion, scientists can determine the dynamics and characteristics of the binary star system.
