What is the double dark theory?

"A binary star is a stellar system consisting of two stars orbiting around their center of mass for each star, the other is its companion star. recent research suggests that a large percentage of stars are part of the systems with at least two stars. Binary star systems are very important in astrophysics, because observing their mutual orbits allows their mass to be determined. the masses of many single stars can then be determined by extrapolations made from the observation of binaries."


What percentage of stars are main sequence stars?

About 90% of the observed stars are on the main sequence. See related question

How many observed stars do astronomers estimate are part of multiple star systems?

A good rule of thumb: Of the stars in the sky 1/2 are in double star systems Of the double stars in the sky 1/3 are in triple star systems Of the triple stars in the sky 1/4 are in quartenary systems ad infinitum It's not precisely correct, but uncertainty in these numbers are so large that it is within the error bars.


How many solar systems are there in the entire universe?

http://exoplanet.eu/ There are 263 known solar systems (stars with planets) to date (December 2008), though more are found each month. It is likely that a substantial fraction of the 200 billion stars in our galaxy are orbited by planets. That's just our galaxy--there are about 100 billion galaxies in the universe. You do the math.
