Astronomers find Tatooine-like exoplanet in rare multi-planetary system.

Astronomers have discovered a new Tatooine-like system that is home to multiple worlds. The binary system TOI-1338, located about 1,320 light-years from Earth in the constellation Pictor, was investigated by astronomers who discovered a second planet. The newfound world is called BEBOP-1c, a gas giant about 65 times the mass of Earth, and about five times less than Jupiter's mass. It orbits its stars at a distance of about 79% of an astronomical unit (AU), taking about 215 days to complete a voyage around its suns.
