"How that planet formed in such a complicated setting is very puzzling. I believe there is yet much to be learned about how giant planets are formed," Konacki said.

Could it be a runaway planet from another system?

In the artist's conception, there is the one large sun, the two (apparently) small suns in the distance, and a large moon. Is the large moon known to exist?

Also, could a planet orbit a binary star system in a figure 8?
