Double-sun "Star Wars" planet discovered - CBS News Did they find tattooine from starwars or the planet namek from dragon ball z?
thats cool. i find it extremely interesting when they make any sort of space discovery. did namek have 2 suns? i dont remember seeing 2 suns but i don't doubt it. also how the hell does a planet orbit 2 stars at the same time. it would be cool to see that planets orbit route,
ahh here it is. "This alien world travels on a nearly circular 229-day orbit around its two parent stars, Kepler-16A and Kepler-16B, which are about 69 and 20 percent as massive as the sun, respectively. The stars keep close to each other -- only a fifth of the distance between Earth and the sun on average, which is closer than Mercury gets to the sun -- completing an orbit around each other every 41 days, researchers added" also, if only that planet was habitable and you could grow bomb weed there i bet with 2 suns. actually maybe not cause what if it gets no dark cycle because of the orbit. in theory you could get bomb ass weed from growing there.
I think it did because it never got dark there. I think I remember the child namek saying something to that effect.
It'll more than likely have an orbit around the center of gravity of the 2 stars. The stars will be rotating around each other and their center of gravity, and then the planet will orbit that. I would imagine that there will still be a dark period during their days.. In order for it to be light all the time, it'd have to be between 2 stars and probably be ripped apart..
That's what I've been thinking but science fiction always equated two suns with have no darkness for some reason.
I thought the Sirius system had two stars, Sirius A and Sirius B, and we've known about them for a while?
Haha. I was going to make a thread about it too xD Although probably impossible, and surely not the case with Tattooine, it would be cool if it had a figure-8 orbit.
I wanna be able to fly in space damn it science make this possible before I die please I wanna go to tattooine one day at least by the time I'm a 125 year old super cyborg. That gives em 107 or 106 years idk lol but one day I'm gonna be a 5 star space admiral/space pirate.
lol imagine if we could travel to other planets with ease... we can start life on another planet and become their ancient aleins in the future
I know I wanna be one, one day and than be shown on their discovery channel in the future handing a bunch of natives weed plants and smoking a bong with their leaders as a peace treaty between our speicies
lmao "tonight on ancient aliens, were our ancestors visited by pot head extra terrestrials?" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWihNBmupdI]Is such a thing even possible? Yes it is! - YouTube[/ame]
Lmfao one day we should make GC community space ship and hotbox the hell out of it while we fly through space than walk out with a giant smoke cloud pouring out in front of us hopefully the aliens are just as friendly. I think we should record our adventures we could make a movie or tv series about our travels lol. Imagine space when you're baked.
