Astronomers discover planet with two sons (video)

The US space agency has announced that NASA’s Kepler telescope has discovered a planet, which orbits around two suns.

The planet is named Kepler-16b, which is said to be an uninhabitable cold gas giant, similar to Saturn, All Headline News reported.
The new planet is 200 Light Years from Earth and its surface temperature ranges between -100 to -150 Fahrenheit (-73 to -101 Celsius).

"This discovery is stunning," said co-author Alan Boss of the Carnegie Institution for Science Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. "Once again, what used to be science fiction has turned into reality," he added.

Astronomers described this discovery as the first proof of any planet orbiting two Suns after having previously glimpsed planets orbiting two stars.

"Kepler-16b is the first confirmed, unambiguous example of a circumbinary planet - a planet orbiting not one, but two stars," said co-author Josh Carter of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
