Some Exoplanets Are Just Weird


Kraus et al., 2020.

Some exoplanets are just weird. The latest one seems to orbit three suns, which would make it into a   tatoiine planet, like the famed sun in Luke Skywalker's twin-sunned homeworld.

Known as GW Orionis (or GW Ori) and located about 1,300 light-years from Earth, the system is a rare example of a triple-star solar system, with two suns orbiting one another at the centre, and a third star swirling around its siblings from several hundred million miles away.”

Unlike evolutionists speculate, we would not expect to see little green men on as GW Orionis.
