Overlapping_tidal_radii.jpg (400 × 300 pixels, file size: 28 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Summary

I created this image myself. Vague diagram used to illustrate the concept of stellar "tidal radii". The "tidal radii" have nothing to do with Roche limits and indeed are zones where objects can orbit a star.
