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 Exoplanet Resembling Star Wars World.

Scientists have discovered a planet, BEBOP-1C, that orbits two stars, similar to Tatooine in Star Wars. The planet was found accidentally using the radial velocity method, and is the first exoplanet orbiting two stars found with this method. The planet is a gas giant, 65 times heavier than Earth, and is located 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Pictor. Scientists hope to learn more about the planet's composition with the James Webb Space Telescope and conduct follow-up research to look for more sibling planets.

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.
