It used to be we thought planets couldn’t form in a binary star system. I wonder, how elliptical the orbit is? Wow, that would be one impressive dawn.

Today are more easy because of the modern observation technologies that improves the observation. this planetary system in question really demonstrate that planetary systems can exists around pairs of stars. Let´s go and search for more others!
