FAST telescope discovers stable three-star system, defying sci-fi chaos

Chinese astronomers using the FAST radio telescope identified a hierarchical triple system with two dead stars and one living star, locked in a stable orbit about 7,000 light-years away. The system's stability contrasts with the chaotic three-body problem popularized in Liu Cixin's novel, offering new insights into stellar dynamics. The finding is based on published research, though details on the system's parameters remain limited.
