WHAT DOES ECLIPSING VARIABLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Binary star

A binary star is a star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common center of mass. The more massive star is called the primary and the other is its companion star, comes /ˈkoʊmiːz/, or secondary. Systems of two, three, four, or even more stars are called multiple star systems. These systems, especially when more distant, often appear to the unaided eye as a single point of light, and are then revealed as double by other means. Research over the last two centuries suggests that half or more of visible stars are part of multiple star systems. The term double star is often used synonymously with binary star; however, double star can also mean optical double star. Optical doubles are so called because the two stars appear close together in the sky as seen from the Earth; they are almost on the same line of sight. Nevertheless, their "doubleness" depends only on this optical effect; the stars themselves are distant from one another and share no physical connection. A double star can be revealed as optical by means of differences in their parallax measurements, proper motions, or radial velocities.
