Mathematical Simulations Show Rocky Planets May Orbit Double Stars

In a new study, astronomers used mathematical analysis and simulations to show that it is possible for a rocky planet to form around binary stars. To date, NASA’s Kepler space telescope has found only gas-giant planets like Saturn or Neptune orbiting binary stars. March 30, 2015 – Luke Skywalker’s home in “Star Wars” is the […]
