Both stars are red and much cooler than the sun, which gives out 40,000 times as much light as one unit, 60,000 times as much as the other. The twins revolve around each other every 20 to 25 years, keeping about 275 million miles apart...

There is a warm layer, usually at 1,000 to 3,000 ft., which sits on the smog. Prevailing winds from the Pacific High cannot readily blow the heavy cloud away to the east because of the mountains which half ring the city...
