Stargazers capture first picture of a planet with two suns ¿ just like Luke Skywalker¿s home planet of Tatooine in Star Wars | Mail Online: "Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away... scientists believe they have captured the first image of a planet orbiting two suns.

Discovery: The binary stars appear to have a large object orbiting them (the circle and green arrow demonstrate the planets movement between 2002 and 2012)

A team of French astronomers believe the snappily-named 2MASS0103(AB)b - could be a 'Tattoine' world just like the fictional home of Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars films."
