Scientists searching for Earth-type planets should consider two-star systemArlington TX (SPX) Jan 11, 2012 A group of astrophysicists from The University of Texas at Arlington plans to expand the discussion about a newly discovered planet orbiting two stars by presenting a study suggesting where an Earth-type planet could exist in the system. The Kepler-16 System made headlines in September when researchers at NASA's Kepler space telescope mission revealed the discovery of Kepler-16b, a cold, gaseous planet that orbits two stars like Star Wars' fictional Tatooine. The UT Arlington team, using dat ... read more |
