Triple star system 'can reveal secrets of gravity'

Astronomers have discovered a unique triple star system which could reveal the true nature of gravity.

They found a pulsar with two white dwarfs all packed in a space smaller than Earth's orbit of the Sun.

The trio's unusually close orbits allow precise measurements of gravity and could resolve difficulties with Einstein's theories.

Neat! Discover all that gravity has to hide!

Interesting that it doesn't collapse.
Any findings could be even more interesting.
