Tatooine planets are still extremely uncommon in our own universe. To date, only 14 planets have been found to orbit binary stars out of more than 6,000 exoplanets discovered. These planets, known colloquially as “Tatooine planets” after Luke Skywalker’s fictional home planet with two suns, pose a serious challenge to their own survival that scientists are only now beginning to grasp. Planets orbiting two suns face a number of serious challenges to survival that scientists are only now beginning to grasp. In most binary star systems, the two stars are similar but not identical in mass and orbit each other…
