The newly discovered planet is called Kepler-1647b, even though we would really love for it to be called Tatooine II. It can't been seen with the naked eye as it sits 3,700 light-years away in the direction of constellation Cygnus (swan).

Kepler-1647b is about as old as Earth. NASA describes its stars as being similar to our own sun, though one is a little bigger and the other a little smaller. Size-wise, it's about as big as Jupiter, making it quite the hulk when it comes to circumbinary planets.

"Circumbinary" - do you always use big words like that just to confuse me, misi?

Circumcis... oh, hang on. Circumbinary. This must be a very extraordinary fellow.

I'm still waiting for news of the Mars Mission - and I can't wait for the trip to Kepler-1647b

It's a nice word, Okee!(I don't know what's it mean?)
