I'm trying to create a universe for my story and I was wondering if it was possible for a solar system to have twin suns that share a gravitational field that rotate with each other.

Binary star

A binary star or binary star system is a system of two stars that are gravitationally bound to and in orbit around each other. Binary stars in the night sky that are seen as a single object to the naked eye are often resolved using a telescope as separate stars, in which case they are called visual binaries. Many visual binaries have long orbital periods of several centuries or millennia and therefore have orbits which are uncertain or poorly known. They may also be detected by indirect technique...

Habitability of binary star systems

Planets in binary star systems may be candidates for supporting extraterrestrial life. Habitability of binary star systems is determined by many factors from a variety of sources. Typical estimates often suggest that 50% or more of all star systems are binary systems. This may be partly due to sample bias, as massive and bright stars tend to be in binaries and these are most easily observed and catalogued; a more precise analysis has suggested that the more common fainter stars are usually The s...

Thank you so much!

wait what if your planet orbited in a figure-eight around the two suns? it could make a few interesting new seasons of the year…
