Binary systems are so common they are almost the norm. Jupiter is seen as a failed star, if it had more mass it could have ignited. Jupiter actually emits more infrared heat than it gets from Sol.
The Sirius A and B system also has a third tiny star the Dogon called the mustard seed star. How they knew it was there is still a mystery.
Romantic neckbeards might still be able to pay a few hundred dollars to get a star system named after them and their paramours, it was $110 back in the 80s and is official in the NGC designations or whatever they use these days.

However only 1 shows on the overview, and only one can be seen in the solar system map.
I guess it's more of a background image thing, the nebulae.
Seen them, some are awesome. I think the second "star" is meant to be a black hole burping as it eats gas, or a quasar, messing up stats with nerfs n bufs. Or just some anomaly, all bright and freakish.

Check out how accretion disks work in stellar lifecycles, Jupiter is at the optimal spot for the formation of a sister star, just in this case there wasn't enough mass, or maybe some event disrupted the accretion back when giant terrestrials were all smashing each other up and dragging gas into their gravity well.
Or just be sarcastic and lame, it really is your call.

Using lightspeed media like radio waves or even light maybe.
Read this cool thing back when science-fiction actually was SCIENCE fiction about a Dirac transponder. Seems when you move something on your desk the fact you did so is true throughout the universe, instantly. It might take 8 minutes for someone with a light receptor to form an image of that fact, but facts are instantaneously true everywhere the moment they occur.
Something to do with the universe being a single thing, infinite but also closed.
