True or False
8. Almost all stars are in binary systems. The book says: "So far you have been considering the deaths of stars as if they were all single objects that never interact, but more than half of all stars are members of binary star systems."From this, I would not necessarily say that almost all stars are in binary systems based on this alone, but some other information I am finding says up to 85%. However, the numbers seem to be all over the map outside the course material, and I can not find a solid figure in it from what I have looked at.
If it helps, Stars and Galaxies, 10th Edition by Seeds and Beckman is my reference material.
