    I don't know if this is supposed to happen or not, but it was awesome nonetheless! In the picture is one of my newest ship builds, the CRS1-NOVA, which I may release online once I've perfected it.

    Yep, binary systems are rare but happen. Usually both stars are the white (from my experience), so I'd say you got pretty lucky. Now I really want to see a binary blue star system...

    You can actually spot them by searching in the galaxy map :D

    Yep, I think I found a 10 planet binary system at one point, It was before Aetherion Crashed and Burned. Made it my faction's HQ because it was so strange.

    Just wondering (but I think the answer is most likely no): Do binary stars orbit each other?

    In game stars don't move but in reality multiple stars orbit a center of mass not each other.
