Two stars this planet has

Astronomers announced Thursday the discovery of a rare planet that orbits two stars, like Tatooine in the "Star Wars" films, adding to a growing inventory of alien worlds in the curiosity shop of the cosmos. Detected by NASA's $600 million Kepler space telescope, it is the first confirmed solar system of its kind, turning a Hollywood fantasy into astronomical fact. The Saturn-size planet, known as Kepler-16b, circles its twin stars in the constellation Cygnus about every 229 days. Maybe George Lucas should film new Star Wars material there.
