A Binary Star System

Description
A Binary Star System
About one-third of the objects we see as “stars” in our region of the Milky Way Galaxy are actually double stars. Mizar in Ursa
Major is a binary system with stars separated by only about 0.01 arcsec. The images and plots show the relative positions of the two
stars over nearly half of their orbital period. The orbital motion of the two binary stars around each other is evident. Either star can
be considered fixed in making such plots
