The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.
This site offers information about the history of binary stars, how they form, and their evolution. There are also images and animations provided throughout this tutorial to better describe observations and binary systems.
