… a planet orbits two suns.

*We report the detection of a planet whose orbit surrounds a pair of low-mass stars. Data from the Kepler spacecraft reveal transits of the planet across both stars, in addition to the mutual eclipses of the stars, giving precise constraints on the absolute dimensions of all three bodies. The planet is comparable to Saturn in mass and size and is on a nearly circular 229-day orbit around its two parent stars. The eclipsing stars are 20 and 69% as massive as the Sun and have an eccentric 41-day orbit. The motions of all three bodies are confined to within 0.5° of a single plane, suggesting that the planet formed within a circumbinary disk.

George Lucas is a visionary.:wink:

Yeah, now all we need is for this Saturn-sized planet to have a Titan-sized moon and we’re cooking.

Be that as it may, Han shot first.

Actually, in the version I saw (there are so many), Han shot only! :stuck_out_tongue:

Does the Saturn-sized mass indicate that it’s a gas giant?

I hear that there’s gas-clouds around Uranus.

That’s no moon…

Wrecked him? Darn near killed him.

More childish humor

What does toilet paper have in common with the USS Enterprise?

They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons.

Ba-dum-bump.

Dirty!

If there’s a bright center of the galaxy, that’s the planet it’s furthest from.
