Found A Real Life Star Wars Planet The Week from mediacloud.theweek.com We then present results from simulations including planetesimal formation and dust accretion, and show that even in the most favourable case of 100% efficient dust accretion, in situ growth starting from planetesimals smaller than ~10 km is difficult for kepler 16b, kepler 34b and kepler 35b. A spectacle made popular by the star wars saga — a planet with two suns — has now been confirmed in space for the first time. A world with a double sunset that was first imagined in star wars over 30 years ago in a galaxy far, far away has become scientific reality.
Real world applications the distance to this planet is 200 light years away!
Double star systems are common in the milky way, but the discovery puts to rest any doubts that a circumbinary planet, or a planet that orbits two stars instead of one, can form and exist in their vicinity. The difficulty of in situ formation of circumbinary planets kepler 16b, kepler 34b and kepler 35b 2012. Kepler 16b is 200 light years from earth. Will roy moore or doug jones win election?
