so the planet is orbiting the yellow sun, and the red sun is also orbiting it ? i always thought the stars didn't really move and planets orbited them
@rubiksfan2000 Yes stars move, the larger star has more mass than the smaller red dwarf star and the smaller star is therefore orbiting the larger star because of its gravity. Besides, all stars are moving around the centre of their galaxy it's just nearly impossible to notice. One we do notice move is called Barnard's Star.
@rubiksfan2000 - they all orbit their common center of mass. Even in our own solar system, the Moon doesn't orbit the Earth; both bodies orbit around a common center of mass below the surface of Earth (but not at the center). And the planets don't orbit the sun, they (and the sun) orbit a common center of mass -- from a distance, the sun would appear to wobble here and there as the planets circle around. This wobble can be detected around other stars and reverse engineered to determine planets.
@slippyslappy93 The planet does not have a surface, it is a gas giant. Considering the immensely thick atmosphere, you would never see either of the stars themselves, I believe. Below the gaseous atmosphere, there is most likely a sea of liquid hydrogen.
150 degrees and plus for the people that think it looks fake its not
