How do close binary stars form?
Our sun is a bit of an outlier in the general stellar population. We typically think of stars as being solitary wanderers throughout the galaxy. But roughly half of sun-like stars are locked in with more than one companion star. If there are two, it's known as a "binary" system, but in many cases there are even more stars all collectively tied together by gravity.
