Astronomers find exoplanet with dual suns like Tatooine.

An international research team has discovered a new planet, BEBOP-1c, which is orbiting two suns in our galaxy, making it a circumbinary solar system. This is the second such system to host more than one planet. The planet is a gas giant and is further away from its star than its neighbour, TOI-1338b, which is a Neptune-like ice giant. The planet's year is about 215 Earth days, and it is 65 times heavier than our planet. The discovery of circumbinary systems is important in helping scientists learn how planets form.

Astronomers Discover Rare 'Tatooine-Like' Solar System

Astronomers at the University of Birmingham have discovered a new binary star system called BEBOP-1 where planets orbit two suns, similar to Tatooine in Star Wars. The system features two planets, including TOI-1338b, which was discovered by NASA's TESS space telescope. The team used state-of-the-art instruments to measure the mass of the planets and discovered BEBOP-1c, a gas giant with an orbital period of 215 days and a mass 65 times larger than Earth. The discovery of circumbinary planets is important in understanding planet formation.

BEBOP-1c: A Rare Tatooine-Like Exoplanet Orbiting Twin Stars

Astronomers have discovered a second planet, BEBOP-1c, in the rare multiplanetary circumbinary system BEBOP-1 or TOI-1338. The planet was discovered using the Doppler method and has an orbital period of 215 days and a mass 65 times larger than Earth. Circumbinary systems contain planets that orbit around two stars in the center instead of just one, like in our Solar System. The discovery is essential in expanding our knowledge about planetary creation around two stars.

Astronomers find Tatooine-like exoplanet in rare multi-planetary system.

Astronomers have discovered a new Tatooine-like system that is home to multiple worlds. The binary system TOI-1338, located about 1,320 light-years from Earth in the constellation Pictor, was investigated by astronomers who discovered a second planet. The newfound world is called BEBOP-1c, a gas giant about 65 times the mass of Earth, and about five times less than Jupiter's mass. It orbits its stars at a distance of about 79% of an astronomical unit (AU), taking about 215 days to complete a voyage around its suns.

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.
