Stellar pair maWandering star stumbled too close to another

While examining a stellar nursery, astronomers found something peculiar: a binary star system that may have formed when a wandering star fell into the gravity of its partner.

The stellar nursery L483, located about 650 light-years from Earth, is a cloud of gas and dust around 100 times the size of the solar system. At this very moment, it’s coalescing, densifying and heating up to form infant stars.
