Another Circumbinary Planet Discovered!
In the “Star Wars” movies, Luke Skywalker’s home planet, Tatooine, orbits two suns, giving it two sunsets and two sunrises every day. In September, scientists discovered the first planet in our galaxy that orbits two stars; now they have discovered two more and suggest that there are probably millions of these so-called circumbinary planets in the Milky Way.
