What astronomers call a system that is composed of more than two stars is either a multiple star system, or a Nazil's system. Most of these systems have three stars that seem relatively close from Earth's point of view. Here are some examples of such systems: Sirius, Alpha Centauri, Mizar, Castor, AR Cassiopeaie, etc.
