Such a disk might coalesce into planets, get absorbed or get ejected. A new-born star (single or otherwise) might have an accretion disk of leftover material. ![]() But they can’t all exist at once.Īccretion disks may be encountered in two radically different scenarios. Individually, all these elements are apparently inspired by actual astronomy. Before the battle begins, Burnham says something to the effect of, “Ahh, the creation of worlds!” which led me to believe that this was supposed to be a pair of young stars and that one or both accretion disks are supposed to be protoplanetary disks. We have a large, somewhat distorted yellow star (I’ll call it the donor), a small yellow star (I’ll call it the gainer), a gas stream between the donor and the gainer, and two accretion disks, one for each star, mutually inclined at a ridiculous angle. It wouldn’t be called “the binary star s“. But an interesting object might as well have a proper name and pretty much any name could be used for the purposes of Star Trek. (No, these are not made up.) Clearly, such names aren’t suitable for rapid-fire dialog in the midst of a space battle, and even an astronomer writing a scientific paper would shorten that last one to something pronounceable. These aren’t always nice names, like Vega or even Alpha Lyrae. That’s about 3% of the stellar content of the Galaxy and it’s not even a little far fetched to assume that the humans of the Star Trek era would have named them all. Third, real-life, present-day astronomy has identified/named about 3 billion stars. Multiplicity is the rule, not an exception.) So future, space-faring humans would no more call a historic event “The battle at the binary star s” as they’d call it “The battle at the star” had the battle happened near a single star. (Yes, that means that 2/3 of all individual stars reside in binary and multiple systems. There are about as many or more binary (and multiple) stars as there are single stars. Second, binary stars are not some rare objects distinct enough to name a battle for. “Binary stars”, plural, would contain at least four stars. ![]() You don’t say “binary stars” to refer to a single binary star. First, a binary star (singular, not plural) is an object that contains two stars. Later on, the event enters history as “The battle at the binary stars”. In the Pilot, there’s a big space battle between Klingons and the Federation in what looks like a debris or asteroid belt around a pair of dubious stars. But among all these legitimate things to complain about, none annoyed me as much as their stars. It’s riddled with stupid plot-twists, unlikable characters who behave nonsensically and bad design decisions. I’ve seen about half the first season of Star Trek: Discovery.
