When two stars orbit one another it is referred to as a binary star system. Some examples of binary star systems are Albiero in the constellation Cygnus, Sirius located in Canis Major, and Epsilon Aurigae in the constellation Auriga. Another example of a binary star system, which is in close proximity to our solar system (11.7 +/-0.3 Ly), is Gliese A and B, which are the host of a super-earth exoplanet.
