Bizarre new multi-star system discovered: 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-33428506

A binary system with a third star co-orbiting with the pair, and the three together co-orbiting another pair of stars which are orbiting so closely they are joined like a big flaming hourglass.

Quote from the article: "In principle there's no reason why it couldn't have planets in orbit around each of the pairs of stars. Any inhabitants would have a sky that would put the makers of Star Wars to shame."

Any plans to update the galaxy to include this one? :D
 
On the bright side, since there is really no collision detection between stelllar objects /roids, we get instances of of them passing through eachother. That's something i guess.
