Abstract: To the eye, most stars seem to be single, like our Sun, but in fact about half are binary or multiple systems. Now a newly accepted theory of star formation — fragmentation — that explains the formation of binary systems makes it unlikely that single stars will harbour planets. Binary stars may be more hospitable.
