12 Stellar Companions… “Binary / (Multiple) Stars”
“Visual Binaries” (not mere “Optical Double Stars”) are very convenient… but what if you can’t separate them?

13 A “Spectroscopic Binary” Star System

15 Detecting Planets in Other Solar Systems…
“Direct Imaging”…? (Possible but Very Difficult!)

19 Q: How to detect dim “Extrasolar Planets” (“Exoplanets”)?
A: Use Newton’s Third Law! (“Action-Reaction”… i.e., “Force-Counterforce”)
