binary suns

Paired stellar bodies

Binary suns are two stars that orbit each other or a common center of gravity.

The term appears most often in science fiction, where planets with two suns in the sky have become a familiar trope: The desert world orbited binary suns.

Astronomers typically say binary star or binary star system.
