Binary system telescope or binoculars. Eclipsing binaries are where the objects' orbits are at an angle that when one passes in front of the other it causes an eclipse, as seen from Earth. Astrometric binaries are objects that seem to move around nothing as their companion object cannot be identified, it can only be inferred. The companion object may not be bright enough or may be hidden in the glare from the primary object. A related classification though not a binary system is Optical binary which refers to objects that are so close together in the sky that they appear to be

Leibniz was specifically inspired by the Chinese I Ching.

Horus-Eye fractions are a binary numbering system for fractional quantities of grain, liquids, or other
