Tatooine
Hey guys. This post is about the discovery of a new planet called Tatooine or Kepler-16b. NASA recently found the first ever known circumbinary planet which orbits around two suns about 200 light-years away from us. The planet is told to be very cold, gaseous, and the size of Saturn. It can not carry life according to NASA. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/09/15/scitech/main20106865.shtml Here is a link to a news article if you are interested. Just imagine having two sunsets, can you talk about the lifestyle changes everyone would have to experience if the earth was orbiting two suns. Here is a link to some videos. http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_18902827

Oh how I would love to have two sunsets, but in my opinion it would be kind of dangerous. I feel this Earth would be hotter then ever before and as much as heat is good,its not always loved. Having 2 suns would be an opportunity of a lifetime, but a bad consequence with it, but I will enjoy those double sunsets while it last or at least until I beg for the longer night time because with 2 suns I feelour night time will shorten.
