NASA Scientist Finds World With Triple Sunsets
"'The sky view from this planet would be spectacular, with an occasional triple sunset,' said Dr. Maciej Konacki (MATCH-ee Konn-ATZ-kee) of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif., who found the planet using the Keck I telescope atop Mauna Kea mountain in Hawaii. 'Before now, we had no clues about whether planets could form in such gravitationally complex systems.'"
Didn't Luke Skywalker's home planet, Tatooine, have two sunsets?
ReplyDeleteI think it had 3; I read that astronomers are actually referring to planets like the one just found as "Tatooine planets."
ReplyDeleteThis is fiction fodder if I ever saw it.
