“Illustration of an Earth-Sized 'Tatooine' Planet” was uploaded to Flickr

This illustration shows a hypothetical planet covered in water around the binary star system of Kepler-35A and B. With two suns in its sky, Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine in "Star Wars" looks like a parched, sandy desert world. In real life, we know that two-star systems can indeed support planets. via NASA ift.tt/2p9yXmD
