When stars are born from galactic nebulas after a nova or supernova, they usually form ``star cluster;" a group of stars in close vicinity to one another, usually forming groups of hundreds of stars to hundred millions. This means that stars are born in various clusters, all revolving under their cumulative mass, maintaining these groups of stars together.
It is a well known fact that the universe is expanding, thanks to calculations contributed by scientists like Hubble, Schwarzschild and Einstein. AS a result, through the course of centuries, these star clusters separate little by little; our solar system as an example. Our Sun probably was born with together other stars; until present there is no evidence that verifies that this is the case or if the Sun was born as a lone star.
However, although these stars separate, they usually remain in pairs, or in groups of three or more stars, giving rise to double or multiple star systems. As a matter of fact, it is believed that the majority of the stars in our universe are part of a double or multiple star system; simply because according to nature, such a system is more stable than a star on its own. When these star clusters separate, the gravitational attraction between some of these stars is too strong and end up orbit around each other. But how can we know, or even begin looking for these star systems?
