IMAGINE 3 SUNS IN THE SKY

The story of a co-orbiting system that was once home to three stars was quite chaotic, as Hubble data reveals.

About 500 million years ago, two of the stars merged to form a more massive star. After its lifetime, this new star evolved into a massive white dwarf.

The third star in the system absorbed matter from the merging star, increasing its mass and brightness. But now it continues to orbit a star that has completed its life.

Illustration titled “Evolution of the Blue Lurker Star System”. It contains six boxes in two rows of three. The upper left shows the large circular path of a star surrounding a small circular path of two rotating stars. The top center box shows two stars orbiting each other, indicated by blue lines, and a third star in the distance. The upper right box shows a large, fiery orange star with a feed line to another distant star. The bottom left box shows a small yellow star surrounded by a ring of pale red gas on a black background. The bottom center box shows a white box around the yellow star. The lines extend from this small box to the lower right panel, showing a large, fiery yellow star. The inscription “Artist's Concept” is at the bottom right.
