NASA s planet hunter satellite TESS has discovered an exoplanet orbiting two stars instead of one and it was identified by a high school intern. The announcement of the circumbinary planet prompted comparisons with Luke Skywalker s home world of Tatooine in the Star Wars movie series, with its bewitching double sunsets.
But the newly found planet s size alone it is 6.9 times larger than Earth, almost the size of Saturn makes it unlikely to be livable. Named TOI 1338 b, it is the only planet in the TOI 1338 system, which lies 1,300 light-years away in the constellation Pictor, and orbits its stars every 95 days.
