Similar to Tatooine in Star Wars, astronomers discover new double-star planets.
CTOnews.com, June 16 (Xinhua) in the Star Wars worldview, Tatooine, the home planet of the Skywalker family, is set to move around a binary system. Astronomers have recently discovered a planet similar to Tatooine, BEBOP-1C.
The findings are published in Nature Astronomy, and officials say the planet orbits two suns (stars) and is similar to Tatooine's ring binaries, 14 of which have been found so far.
The report says astronomers accidentally discovered BEBOP-1C while studying the planet TOI-1338b, located in the constellation Pictor, about 1320 light-years from Earth, 65 times the size of Earth and 1/5 the size of Jupiter.
