"Planet-hunters say they've detected the first world that's absolutely known to circles two stars, like Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine in the fictional "Star Wars" saga."

 

Story continues at link...their timing is so interesting, is it not?

Ummm not to bust any bubbles out there but we have known about Brown Dwarfs, Binary star systems minus the orbiting planet that is and rogue planets and stars for a very long time since the mid 60s at least.....just because they are talking about them in more detail is due to the fact that technology has substatiated what has already been known.  Just my thoughts.
