They won't look like this, however.



They are too close together, making any planet orbits unstable. Plus they might be within each others' Roche limit. Additional suns would have to be far enough in the distance to only look like very bright stars.

Excellent point. And let's be honest. Binary stars create problems for advanced life to exist on their planets. IMHO, the fairly large number of planets we've found orbiting binary stars adds to the concept of our planet Earth being uniquely created for advance life.

And a unique creation implies the existence of a Creator.
