Now a paper claims that a study does indeed show that pairs of widely separated binary stars do show a deviation from Newton's Second Law, arguing that, at very low levels, gravity is stronger than the law predicts. YouTubing-astrophysicist Dr Becky considered this report a couple of months ago(2023-Nov-09), under the title "HUGE blow for alternate theory of gravity MOND".
