DAZZD88 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Well let's face it, who here isn't? But anyways, check this out... Tattooine exists
LosOjos Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Pretty cool. They haven't really called it Tattooine as the MSN articule suggests though, it's actually called Kepler-16b NASA - NASA's Kepler Mission Discovers a World Orbiting Two Stars 1
DAZZD88 Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 You have thoroughly urinated on my chips.
Jawloms Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I'd be interested to know it's orbit! Presumably it goes around both the suns, but you'd get some weird "days" if its orbit went between the suns.

Skimming through NASA's website, it orbits around both, and the suns themselves rotate around each other... weird! There are some animations on the link that are quite good
LosOjos Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 You have thoroughly urinated on my chips. Sorry about that! Still, can you imagine what George Lucas would have done if they had?! That guy's getting to be as greedy as a certain fruit-based ex-CEO... 1

LosOjos Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) The man from Del Monte? Never insult the man from Del Monte again, never! You hear me?! Yes. Edited September 16, 2011 by LosOjos comedy value
MK-2 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 this comment on the bbc report is absolutely hilarious. A planet orbiting two suns - the first confirmed alien world of its kind - has been found by Nasa's Kepler telescope, the US space agency announced. It may resemble the planet Tatooine from the film Star Wars, but scientists say Luke Skywalker, or anyone at all, is unlikely to be living there. So wait, you are confirming that a fictional character from a movie is NOT likely to be living there? I think the BBC need to (for sake of a football chant), ask themselves "Are they NoTW in disguise!" with rubbish writing like that
