"Star Wars creator George Lucas truly was ahead of his time, as a recent scientific discovery confirms the existence of a Tatooine-like planet with twin suns. For decades, the idea of planets orbiting twin suns was seen as something fundamentally impossible. However, history is full of ideas that were thought to be impossible until science proved otherwise, and many of these ideas originate from sci-fi creators like Lucas. The maker ended up being 37 years ahead of science when he created Tatooine, a planet that no longer seems impossible."
"'Circumbinary planets were originally thought not to exist, since the binary stars stir up the planet-forming disks, creating a harsh environment for planets to form,' study lead author Matthew Standing, an astrophysicist at the Open University in England, told Space.com. 'This all changed with the discovery of Kepler-16b in 2011 by the Kepler space telescope. This discovery showed that it must be possible for these planets to form.'"
