The Unicorn Star

<p>You may know it better known as the Unicorn. There&rsquo;s a nebula here, 20,000 light years away from our blue marble, where early B- to late O type stars dot the skies, shining a brilliant blue. Somewhere in this nebula is a special trinary star system, consisting of a very compact binary star component and a separate companion further away.</p> <p>By virtue of chaos theory, this configuration of stars isn&rsquo;t the most stable.

In our case, the compact binary slowly radiates its mechanical energy away as gravitational waves as the two stars spiral closer in a dance of death.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@cheesyminecart/the-unicorn-star-68a73049e67e"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
