An international team discovered a planet which orbits two stars, like the fictional planet Tatooine featured in the sci-fi film series Star Wars. They made the finding through NASA’s Kepler spacecraft. The planet, called Kepler-16b, is about 200 light years from Earth and is believed to be a frozen world of rock and gas, about the size of Saturn.
