"If you stood on the planet's surface, you would see three suns in sky, although its orbit centers around the main yellow star among the trio. The larger of the other two suns would be orange and the smaller would be red, astronomers at California Institute of Technology said in a statement."

Some say that this could indicate the presence of more extra-solar planets than previously thought.

Neat stuff, but I have to get back to fixing these Droids!

Wow! That artist's rendition looks really neat too.

I always thought the sky would look more interesting with other stuff in it. Have you seen the Jodie Foster movie Contact? The skies on the "planet" she visited were really cool too.

Now if there's a life capable planet in that system, we need to build Mos Eisley.
