Astronomers from the University of Turku in Finland and elsewhere have performed a broadband spectral and timing study of an ...

Chinese astronomers have employed NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to observe an eclipsing binary of the ...

The binary system, also known as base two, counts in chunks of two. As an example, let's count this collection of asterisks: Using the base 10 counting system, we'd express this number as five (5).

Binary star system found near the Milky Way's black hole: An 'amazing' discovery, astrophysicists say. The discovery could lead to the finding of more planets.

Plenty of potential sources of 511 keV photons have been put forward, ranging from binary jet X-rays to dark matter annihilation. However, Drs. Metzler and Wadiasingh believe that a specific type ...

But for numbers 20 through 80, they used a binary system, with separate, one-word terms for 20, 40 and 80. For really large numbers, they used powers of 10 up to at least 10 million.

Unlike our everyday counting system that uses tens, binary uses just two numbers, 0 and 1. Learn more with BBC Bitesize. Suitable for KS3 students.

The number 3 also suggests a different way of counting. Our familiar base 10 decimal system uses the 10 digits from zero to 9. Binary, our digital lingua franca, represents numbers using only the two ...

Recent projects put the number of rogue planets ejected from their home systems in our galaxy as high as a quadrillion (10 followed by 14 zeroes). These new twisted-Tatooine findings could help ...
