NASA's Kepler telescope has spotted a planet that is sure to revive memories of Star Wars — it orbits two stars, like Tatooine, the fictional home planet of Luke Skywalker.Laurance Doyle at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, and his team looked for the slight dimming of ...
Planets With Two Suns Could Grow Black Trees The researchers found the planetusing a method calledastrometry, which precisely tracks the position of stars over time. Thediscovery marks the first time astronomers have used astrometry to findapreviously unknown planet, researchers said. "The techniques...
With two suns in its sky, Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine in "Star Wars" looks like a parched, sandy desert world. In real life, thanks to observatories such as NASA's Kepler space telescope, we know that two-star systems can indeed support planets, although planets discovered so f...

Eat your heart out, Tatooine: A newly discovered alien planet has not one, not two, but three suns in its sky. While scientists know of many planets with two suns, a planet with three bright stars in its sky is much rarer. The newly found distant world, known as KELT-4Ab, orbits ...
Stars form when cold interstellar gas and dust gathers and collapses; planets are formed from the leftovers in this process. In many cases, there is enough gas and dust to form two or more stars at once, which means astronomers expect that exoplanets with two suns are not uncommon. ...
with its two stars. Tatooine is the name of Luke Skywalker's home world in the science fiction movie Star Wars. In this case, the planet it not thought to be habitable. It is a cold world, with agaseous (气体的,气态的)surface, but like Tatooine, it circles two stars. The largest ...
The gas giant Kepler-16b is the first exoplanet ever found with two suns in its sky. Like Tatooine — the home world of Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" films — Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars rather than a singleton like our own sun. The planet was spotted in September 2011;...

The discovery happened only because the planet and both its suns were lined up on a plane with Earth, so that the scientists were at the right angle to see the planet as it crossed its suns. Of the 150,000 stars the Kepler spacecraft is watching, scientists chose a few th...
