Relax on Kepler-16b - Where your shadow always has company Mantis Most of these intense firesLike Luke Skywalker's planet "Tatooine" in Star Wars, Kepler 16b orbits a pair of stars. Depicted here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler 16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren't good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice. But the discovery indicates that the movie's iconic double sunset is anything but science fiction. ImageCourtesy NASA JPL Caltech
