Until the astronomers at the California Institute of Technology found what the call the &#8220;Tattooine planet&#8221;, scientists didn&#8217;t think that binary or trinary star systems could support a planet of any reasonable size.  They felt that such systems, which outnumber single-star systems like our own by 20 percent, were just too unstable to maintain a planet.  But, now they know better.  This discovery, of course, opens a whole new realm of possibilites for space discovery and colonization.  Not to mention gives a whole lot of validation to the space opera writers who&#8217;ve imagined multiple suns setting in alien skies since the early days of science-fiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has been found!
