Twin Sun Planet Kepler 35b: Mark Garlick Mark A. Garlick An artist's illustration of Kepler-35 b, a Saturn-size planet around a pair of sun-size stars, as envisioned by artist Mark A. Garlick.

The images showed swirls of dust and gas spiraling around the star system AB Aurigae about 520 light-years from Earth, including a "twist" in the center where astronomers suspected a planet is ...

The discovery of Kepler-35b and another twin sun planet, Kepler-34 b, was announced Jan. 11, 2012 and represent a new class of circumbinary planets. Alien Solar System of Kepler-20 ...

They orbit at around 160 times and 320 times the distance we are from the Sun, and are much heavier than the planets in our solar system. Scientists were able to take the images using the European ...

Images of systems with multiple exoplanets are extremely rare, and -- until now -- astronomers had never directly observed more than one planet orbiting a star similar to the Sun.
