      Hello,

      That is a brilliant question! There are theories of different species of binary systems. Binary systems are when two objects orbit each other, but are usually a normal star and a compact object such as a black hole, neutron star or white dwarf. I guess if two compact objects orbited each other, the gravity scales associated could be *huge*, so all sorts of exciting physics could be tested!
