Difference between Double star and Hipparcos

Double star vs. Hipparcos

In observational astronomy, a double star or visual double is a pair of stars that appear close to each other in the sky as seen from Earth when viewed through an optical telescope. Hipparcos was a scientific satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 1989 and operated until 1993.

Proper motion

Proper motion is the astronomical measure of the observed changes in the apparent places of stars or other celestial objects in the sky, as seen from the center of mass of the Solar System, compared to the abstract background of the more distant stars.
