Two more Tattooine-like planets discovered orbiting double suns
Kepler-34b and Kepler-35b are two new examples of so-called circumbinary planets, joining the previously discovered Kepler-16b. In both of these new star systems, the double suns orbit each other, and the planets orbit the combined gravitational field of the two stars.
