No, in fact they are quite common. Many stars that, with the naked eye, look like a single star, are actually double or multiple stars.

What colors are binary stars?
Binary stars can be any color that stars can be. There's no need for the two stars in a binary to be the same color.
What is the name when two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common center of gravity?
The stars are said to be a "gravitational binary pair"
How many binary star systems are there?
The nearest ones to us are:Sirius- BinaryArcturus - Possible binaryAlpha Centauri ARigel - BinaryProcyon - BinaryAchernar - BinaryAnswer:Alpha Centuri is not a binary star system as it contains three stars, not two. Proximia Centuri aka Alpha Centuri C is the closest star to us. Alpha Centuri A and Alpha Centuri B are the other two stars.
Who is one of the propounders of the binary star theories?
All serious astronomers realize that there are binary stars.
Is the main difference between a pulsar and a binary system that a pulsar is made up of two neutron stars and that a binary system is made of of two normal stars?
Not exactly, while a pulsar is a specific type of neutron star (that being a "spinning neutron star") and a binary system is a pair of stars orbiting each other, a pulsar does not need to be part of a binary system. It would be possible, however to have a binary system with one of the pair being a pulsar and the other a neutron star (assumed to be the non-spinning or "normal neutron star" variety).
What are the names of the 2 famous stars that revolve around each other?
There are lots of binary stars. Doing a search on "binary stars" should get you several. It seems that binary (or multiple) stars are about as common as single stars; at least, they are in the same order of magnitude.
What is the definition of apparent relative orbit with respect to binary stars?
A binary star is a star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common centre of mass
What colors are binary stars?
Binary stars can be any color that stars can be. There's no need for the two stars in a binary to be the same color.
Stars that are found in pairs are called?
Two stars orbiting each other are "binary stars" ...a group of stars near each other, may be formally or informally known as a "cluster".
What is the name when two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common center of gravity?
The stars are said to be a "gravitational binary pair"
How big is a binary star?
A binary star is a star system consisting of two stars orbiting around their common barycenter. Systems of two, three, four, or even more stars are called multiple star systems. These systems, especially when more distant, often appear to the unaided eye as a single point of light, and are then revealed as double (or more) by other means.
What are two stars bound by gravity called?
Binary stars
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they are know as?
A binary star.
Are all binary stars part of star systems explain?
Yes all binary stars are part of the star system because all galaxies and universes have stars and you have to have at least two stars for it to be binary stars.
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they're known as?
A binary star.
What are binary pairs in a galaxy?
That means that two stars are close together, orbiting their common center of mass.
How is a binary used?
Binary what? Binary numbers? Binary stars? Binary fission?
