Rare Tatooine-like planetary system discovered with binary suns.

An international team of astronomers has discovered a new multiplanetary circumbinary system, the second-ever found. The newly discovered planet, BEBOP-1c, orbits around two stars in the center, and has a mass 65 times larger than Earth. The team used the radial-velocity method to detect the planet, and although they could not measure the mass of the previously discovered planet, TOI-1338b, they were able to place strict upper limits on its mass. Circumbinary planets are rare but important in understanding planet formation.
