The binary star system, known to astronomers as “NY Virginis” and discovered in 2011, has identified as non-binary after it was observed that its companion is just a large planet and not the red dwarf described in the literature. Classified as a “B-type hot subdwarf”, offensive on so many levels, NY Virginis will henceforth be known as NYV-A, with preferred personal pronouns they, them, their, theirs. [Surely these are plural…? Ed.]
