Right! you can look at photo's on the net.
I read a study on the subject. It "appears"
many stars are "optical doubles" in fact
to many to be coincidence, and they concluded
1/3 of stars are gravitationally bound doubles.
(That blew me away, because it boosted the
probability of planetary systems, and that
was/is being subsequently proved).
