Astronomers have discovered a Saturn-mass exoplanet orbiting two low-mass stars in a binary system, creating what researchers describe as a circumbinary planetary system. The discovery adds to the growing catalog of planets found orbiting multiple stars, similar to fictional worlds depicted in science fiction.
The planetary system consists of the Saturn-sized world orbiting around both stars in the binary pair. According to the research, the configuration resembles scenarios where hypothetical settlements might experience double sunsets, with the added complexity of a large planetary body visible in the sky.
