Astronomers have identified 27 potential circumbinary planets—worlds that orbit two stars like Star Wars' Tatooine—using clever new detection techniques. Astronomers have identified 27 potential circumbinary planet candidates, worlds that may orbit two stars, similar to the fictional planet Tatooine from Star Wars. The candidates were detected using eclipse timing variations in binary star systems observed by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), though further observations are needed to confirm whether they are truly planets. About 18 circumbinary planets had been discovered, and more than 6,000 planets have been recognised which orbit around single stars. In a periodical publication for Star Wars Day, which is on 4th May, scientists discovered about 30 more candidate planets with their distances ranging from 650 to 18,000 light years away from the Earth.…
