Eclipsing binaries are a type of binary star system in which the orbits of the two stars are aligned such that they pass in front of each other as seen from Earth, causing periodic variations in brightness known as eclipses. These systems provide astronomers with valuable information about the physical properties of stars, such as their masses, radii, and temperatures. Studying eclipsing binaries can help scientists better understand stellar evolution, binary star formation, and the structure of stellar atmospheres. Additionally, eclipsing binaries are important objects for testing and refining theories of stellar and binary evolution.
