Tatooine found?


Astronomers find planet with 3 suns.

An artist's drawing of three suns and a Jupiter-sized planet from the perspective of a hypothetical moon orbiting the planet. The large sun is already halfway over the horizon, while the two other suns are still visible in the sky.

Astronomers have detected a planet outside our solar system with not one, but three suns, a finding that challenges astronomers' theories of planetary formation.

The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of a triple-star system known as HD 188753 in the constellation Cygnus.
