Binary stars are important for astronomy and astrophysics.  So what do you think?

Astrophysicists find binary systems to be quite useful in determining the mass of the individual stars involved. When two objects orbit one another, their mass can be calculated very precisely by using Newton’s calculations for gravity. The data collected from binary stars allows astrophysicists to extrapolate the relative mass of similar single stars. What is the Binary Stars?
