NASA announced today that the KEPLER spacecraft, on an exploratory mission since 2009, had discovered the very first planet on record to orbit around two sun-like stars at once.
Sound familiar?
Said Kepler project scientist NICK GAUTIER during a press conference at Ames Research Center, "It’s the best example we have of a Tatooine-like world from STAR WARS. We don’t expect to find LUKE SKYWALKER or anything else living there, but you if you could visit there, you would see a sky with two suns, just like Luke did."
