Cool: Six-star system found. Cooler: Made of three binaries. Coolest: *Eclipsing* binaries. – SYFY WIRE

This deserves a “whoa”: Astronomers have found a sextuple (six-) star system where, if you watch it for a few days, every star in it will at some point undergo an eclipse.
Whoa.
Multiple stars are just intrinsically cool: Unlike our Sun, sailing alone through space, multiples are where two or more stars orbit each other in a stable, gravitationally bound system.
