Planet with two suns discovered

Astronomers say a bit of science fiction is now reality. They've spotted a planet orbiting two suns. The discovery was made by NASA's planet-hunting telescope Kepler. Scientists describe the find in the Sept. 16 issue of the journal Science. They are calling the new planet Tatooine after the fictional body in the Star Wars films that boasts a double sunset. The alien world, about the size of Saturn, is frigid and inhospitable. It orbits two stars 200 light-years from Earth. (AP)
