Habitable Planets in Binary Systems

As you may know, Primordia is in a binary system--one with both
a red giant and a blue giant star.
One of my favorite shows, How the Universe Works, had a recent
episode about the possibility of inhabitable planets in binary
systems. It's the second episode of season six, and it's called
"Twin Suns, The Alien Mysteries". It's pretty interesting if
you're into this kind of thing, or if you're considering using a
binary system in your game.

Yeah, they actually mentioned Tatooine a few times. It's on the
Discovery channel.

You should also check out the YouTube series by Artifexian
HTML https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeh-pJYRZTBJDXMNZeWSUVA.
Among
many of the other "How to make planets" videos he has one on
making a binary star system under the title "Build your own
Tatooine"
HTML https://youtu.be/1nV2ygdKZ3s.
His stuff is pretty technical (although pretty understandable),
but it is all really good for thinking about these things.

Yeah, interesting video, although I can't imagine solar masses
coming up in an RPG. :) Both of Primordia's suns are much
larger than our sun.
