A binary system is a term referring to two objects (usually stars, but also planets, galaxies or asteroids) whose gravitational interaction causes them to orbit about a common centre of mass.

Antares has a companion star (or binary star) called Antares B which is at a distance of approximately 550 AU from Antares A. (Neptune for comparison is only 30 AU from the Sun). This "companion" takes around 878 years to orbit Antares A.
