Astronomers using the Kepler telescope found the first known double-star planet just last September—Kepler-16b, a gassy oddball orb the size of Saturn that circles a pair of stars 200 light-years from Earth, like the planet Tatooine in the "Star Wars" films. ❋ Robert Lee Hotz (2012)
On Wednesday, Dr. Welsh and his colleagues announced that they have confirmed the existence of two more worlds in distinctive double-star solar systems in the constellation Cygnus. ❋ Robert Lee Hotz (2012)

Since then he has become a double-star actor in a wider field, There are those who insist that he is an ill-starred actor in a general way; but as he has left the country, we can leave those who regard his absence as a good riddance of bad rubbish, and those who call it a Madriddance of good rubbish, to discuss his merits at their leisure. ❋ Various (N/A)
The two Herschels between them discovered some thousands of these close multiple systems; Struve and others increased the list to above ten thousand; and Mr.S. W. Burnham, of late years the most enthusiastic and successful of double-star pursuers, added a thousand new discoveries while he was still an amateur in astronomy, and by profession the stenographer of a Chicago court. ❋ Unknown (1904)
The two central bodies, standing opposed to each other at the poles of the nuclear spindle, form "the double-star" ❋ Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1876)

The "double-star method" was also suggested by James Gregory in 1675, and again by Wallis in 1693; [25] Huygens first, and afterwards Dr. Long of Cambridge (about 1750), made futile experiments with it; and it eventually led, in the hands of Bessel, to the successful determination of the parallax of 61 Cygni. ❋ Unknown (1874)

He viewed them as a double-star, without yet having the coolness to separate them. ❋ Alexandre Dumas Fils (1859)
I thought myself that the double-star episode was the best part of it. ❋ Oliver Wendell Holmes (1851)
