Double-Star Systems Can Be Dangerous for Exoplanets by Mike Wall, SPACE.com Senior Writer
 Exoplanets circling
 a star with a far-flung stellar companion — worlds that are part of 
"wide binary" systems — are susceptible to violent and dramatic orbital 
disruptions, including outright ejection, the study found.
Exoplanets circling
 a star with a far-flung stellar companion — worlds that are part of 
"wide binary" systems — are susceptible to violent and dramatic orbital 
disruptions, including outright ejection, the study found.Such effects are generally limited to sprawling planetary systems with at least one distantly orbiting world, while more compact systems are relatively immune. This finding, which observational evidence supports, should help astronomers better understand the structure and evolution of alien solar systems across the galaxy, researchers said.
