Triple star system gobbled up the 4th star
Astronomers have detected a triple star system that is unlike any that has been seen before. The trio has a hierarchical structure, which means that a pair of binary stars revolve around each other in the center of the system, and the third star revolves around the central pair. This may be due to that there probably used to be a fourth luminary in this system before one of the trinity absorbed it.
