Is it possible to have a solar system of stars? In one of our funnier Cosmic Queries segments, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson answers StarTalk Radio fan Arlen Kundert by explaining how multiple star systems like our neighbor, the Alpha Centauri system, can exist, and what the impact of dueling stellar gravity is on the orbit of planets. Don't miss Chuck Nice's riff on emotionally conflicted planets.
