21st January 2011 After checking some videos on the sky at night website, I decided to see if I could find the double stars Mizar & Alcor in Ursa Major (The big dipper). To my surprise, I did manage to locate the two stars, which are supposedly caught in each others gravitational pull. I must admit I am amazed to think the two stars I was looking at are actually caught in a tug of war with each other. I also watched a video tonight that explains that each star is also a separate binary system, as well as orbiting each other, so there are actally four stars in total. Unfortunately, I couldn't spot the smaller stars, and it also clouded over, but I hope to get a picture tomorrow.
