There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire Solar System.

I wonder if they would ever understand this, or just think it's a cool fact.

There are the same number of hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water as there is stars in the entire solar system.

We living in a binary star system that I didn't know about?

I guess it's possible, there is a hypothesis that the solar system has a second faint red or brown dwarf star orbiting in the furthest outskirts of the solar system. I'm not sure I buy this hypothesis though, there is so little evidence. And it would be one of the more strange binary systems out there (binary stars are usually close together).
