It’s not Tatooine, but it’s kinda close. More like an Ohann or Adriana. Those are fictional gas giants orbiting the binary suns Tatoo I and II in Star Wars, the stars made famous by Luke Skywalker ...

A team of astronomers has detected a “Tatooine-like” exoplanet that orbits two stars. A person living on the planet would see two suns in the sky, like Luke Skywalker’s home planet in Star Wars — but ...

A study on the latest observations of the planet titled "BEBOP III. Observations and an independent mass measurement of Kepler-16 (AB) b - the first circumbinary planet detected with radial velocities ...

Yesterday, NASA announced that they’d discovered the first unambiguous example ofa Tatooine-like planet; the planet, Kepler-16b orbits two suns, just like the dusty ...

If you could stand on the surface of Kepler-16b, you'd have two shadows. At sunset, you would see an orange star about the size of the sun and next to it a much fainter red star. As the stars slipped ...

A team of astronomers, including a researcher from Ohio State, located a planet orbiting two stars that resembles the planet Tatooine from the movie series “Star Wars.” Using a technique known as the ...

IMAGE: Artist’s impression of Kepler-16b, the first planet known to definitively orbit two stars — what’s called a circumbinary planet. The planet, which can be seen in the foreground, was discovered ...

For most of his career, Geoff Marcy never thought he'd find any extrasolar planets. But that's all changed. Marcy is one of the lead astronomers sifting through the Kepler data, and has been credited ...

Astronomers that have been studying a binary star system — one with two baby suns — for over 30 years now believe three separate solar systems are starting to form around them. The SVS 13 binary star ...

The discovery of a planet orbiting a binary star in the habitable zone is the tenth of its kind, indicating such planets are more common than previously thought. Michelle Starr is CNET's science ...
