Newly discovered planet has 3 suns
Scientists puzzled at how such a planet could form
By Michael Schirber
A newly discovered planet has bountiful sunshine, with not one, not two, but three suns glowing in its sky.
It is the first extrasolar planet found in a system with three stars. How a planet was born amidst these competing gravitational forces will be a challenge for planet formation theories.
"The environment in which this planet exists is quite spectacular," said Maciej Konacki from the California Institute of Technology. "With three suns, the sky view must be out of this world -- literally and figuratively." |
I think we should call it Tattooine :O |

Off-topic, did anyone notice that the last shot in Revenge of the Sith paralelled one of the first shots in Star Wars? |

I tristar system. I think it would be really cool
but it makes a good point. What kind of constant orbit does it maintain with gravity from 3 stars. |

YES!! And Bob shall be ruled by mice and dolphins (the most intelligent life forms on planet earth).
[Let's see how many sci-fi references we can shove into one topic !]
I just thought of something. Would a planet like that even be habitable? |

Just the prospect of finding out the composition of a planet that can last with 3 suns is a pretty big find. It might pave the way to being able to habitate another planet, or heck even create one. |

I guess I'll ask this question again. Would a planet like that even be habitable? |
