Astronomers discover images of rare Tatooine-like exoplanet with a strange 300-year orbit: 'Exactly how it works is still uncertain'

The planet formed 50 million years after the dinosaurs died, making it incredibly young in cosmic terms.

Astronomers have discovered a planet beyond the solar system that orbits its twin parent stars closer than any ever seen before in a binary. The twin stars in the sky over the newly-found extrasolar planet, or "exoplanet," likely bear a resemblance to the twin stars over Tatooine, the home planet of Luke Skywalker, when viewers first meet the young hero at the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope. This exoplanet is six times closer to its parent stars than any previously directly imaged binary system exoplanet, yet despite this relative proximity, it still has a year that lasts 300 times as long as an Earth year.

Phi Persei: Double Star - December 12th, 1997.

"It's clear who is the biggest star in this binary system. This artist's vision of the double star Phi Persei shows a bright, rapidly rotating massive star surrounded by a disk of gas. A small companion star orbits 100 million miles away. The bigger star is presently about 9 times more massive than the small one...but it wasn't always this way. Ten million years ago, the small companion was actually the most massive star in the system, and because of its greater mass, evolved into a giant star more quickly. After losing its swollen outer layers to the now massive star, all that remains is a stripped down, intensely hot core of about 1 solar mass. In another ten million years, the roles may reverse as the now massive star swells into its own giant phase, "returning" mass to its companion. Astronomers consider the ultimate fate of such mass-exchanging, interacting binary systems an open question and a challenge for theories of stellar evolution."

Hi! I'm Amorette, I can't draw at all, but I've been in the #BinaryStarHeroe fandom for a while, so I started drawing in social studies classes and made Ray. I hope I don't get tired of drawing.
