The researchers found that if a theoretical twin of Earth were placed into a binary

star system – where two stars orbit each other – up to 87% of them should tilt on
their axes in a way similar to Earth’s. What’s more, the tilt should be as stable as
Earth’s: not perfectly stable, but not wildly unstable, either. This result is significant,
since Earth’s relatively steady tilt on its axis helps our world maintain a stable
climate, needed for complex life to evolve.
