A Blue-Chip Prospect

Ah, autumn. There’s a nip in the air, and prac­ti­cally every local radio and tele­vi­sion sta­tion, news­pa­per, and coworker hang­ing out at the water cooler is talk­ing about the plight of OSU foot­ball. As I think of the upcom­ing game with that “team up north” (and I try not to think about it much, truth be told), my mind turns to thoughts of … binary stars. So I’m an astro-nerd. Sue me.
