SPACE: Kappa Tucanae and Xi Scorpii

[dewline]

Since multi-stellar systems became a plot point in Star Trek: Picard's first season...I've been curious. I doubt that I'm going to have the time to explore deep-space astronomy to the degree that I want, and even so...

Kevin Jardine put out word via Twitter about these two systems - both five-star systems, literally speaking - getting some attention. I don't know if either system has planets orbiting any of their components, but the research paper's interesting to look at.

Printing it out for later reading. Meanwhile, back to the job search.
