Astronomers have discovered a new planetary system that resembles Tatooine, the fictional home of Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. Exoplanets called Tatooine worlds or circumbinary planets are found in star systems with two stars. Hence, someone standing on the surface of one of these planets would see two suns in the sky and experience two sunsets, just like Luke Skywalker.
