Eclipsing binary star system
Eclipsing binary star system. Artwork of W Ursae Majoris, an eclipsing binary system located around 200 light years away from Earth. The two component stars (orange/white) are similar in brightness and are almost in contact. The total brightness of the system varies on a regular cycle, because the orbital paths of the stars causes them to pass in front of one another when viewed from Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the mesmerizing beauty of an eclipsing binary star system known as W Ursae Majoris. Located approximately 200 light years away from Earth, this stellar duo consists of two component stars that are remarkably similar in brightness and almost touching each other. The orbital paths of these stars cause them to periodically pass in front of one another when observed from our planet, resulting in a fascinating variation in the total brightness of the system. The illustration vividly captures the enchanting dance between these celestial bodies, highlighting their joined nature and periodic changes. The orange and white hues emanating from the component stars add a touch of radiance to this cosmic spectacle. As astrophysics enthusiasts delve into cosmological wonders, they are drawn to study such eclipsing binary systems for their immense scientific value. With its intricate details and artistic flair, this print serves as a reminder that even amidst vast expanses of space, there exists an interconnectedness that transcends distance.
