A new solar system has been discovered by a team of scientists, where planets orbit two suns, similar to the fictional home of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. The discovery of the solar system, named TOI-1233, offers new insights into the formation and evolution of planets in binary star systems.
The discovery was made by an international team of astronomers using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The researchers found that TOI-1233 has three exoplanets, with the innermost planet orbiting both stars in just under four days.
The two stars in the TOI-1233 system are smaller and cooler than the sun, and are located about 1,200 light-years away from Earth. The discovery of this solar system offers a unique opportunity for astronomers to study the formation and evolution of planets in binary star systems, which are common in the Milky Way galaxy.
The discovery of the TOI-1233 solar system is a significant step forward in our understanding of the universe and the diversity of planetary systems that exist. It also offers a glimpse into the fictional world of Star Wars and the possibility of finding habitable planets in binary star systems, a concept that has long fascinated astronomers and science fiction enthusiasts alike.
