NASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered its first circumbinary planet, a planet that orbits two suns. The cold, Saturn-sized planet is not in the star system's habitable zone. But, someone near the planet's surface could see double sunrises and sunsets, similar to what Luke Skywalker saw on Tatooine in the 1977 movie, "Star Wars."

  • @Anavengertg who discovered that the Earth orbit the Sun (a very famous Italian) and was put to house arrest by who for that discovery?...don't hurt yourself thinking about that one.

    The "how" has been proving with facts by science and the "why" is still an ongoing question with no answer in sight.

    It's O.K . for you to put your faith in god, but don't force your believes upon others.

  • @Anavengertg Thanks for the correction, English was/is never my thing, but hopefully we can agree that you have your "beliefs" and so does others, peace.

see all

  • Still...Earth is better! >.<

  • I heard that in recent years such planets discovered more than 2000, but Kepler is most similar to Earth.But to see whether those planets with us? Is not this the harbinger of an alien invasion? All this talking here whowantstolive2012. com
