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.
