Well, that redefines what we know. If it were a rock planet, I would love to stand on it just to see that sight.

It'll be just like Dragon Ball, wut that planets name??? Namic I think, it has like 3 suns too. Would kinda suck tho, having no nights and only days....

Namek.

i prefer the Tatooine reference they made in the article instead

or it could be like that movie Pitch Black..

Very cool. Screw theories on planet formation- the 3 star system was probably two or more solar systems that collided.

I wonder if those solar powered cars would go faster with 3 suns?

They say "Tattooine like" but then go on to say that it's a gas giant. Yay, 3 successful stars and one failed one.

But it's in Cygnus, which isn't that far away. The light given from the suns won't give a solar panel anything extra (Except for the amount of daytime that MAY be observed). What you need to look at is how much gamma and x-ray is being emitted there.

Finding a planet with multiple suns is quite tough - Unless it's an unstable gas giant. Imagine how often it's Aort Cloud showers shit down in that star system - The meteor impacts alone would stop life from evolving.

But yeah, Neat. We'll only see multiple suns from the bridge of a starship. And if that starship should be called the "USS Celerity" then my plan will have worked
