A Nature paper describes a new class of planets. The new class of planets are called circumbinary planets; they orbits a pair of stars (it rings a bell right? yup just like the planet Tatooine in Star Wars). Kepler-34b (i think it should be named Tatooine-1) was discovered by Kepler Spacecraft which uses transit method to discover extra-solar planets in constellations of Cygnus and Lyra.

An interesting paper perfect to read with a cup of coffee 🙂
