The Binary Star Hypothesis about the origin of the Earth was propounded by American astronomer Henry Norris Russell (H.N. Russell) in 1937. He proposed that the Sun was not a single star but part of a binary system, and that a passing third star caused the ejection of matter that eventually formed the planets, including Earth.
