ABC Radio- 5 Sun Planet

[Baddad (Marty)]

Hi All,

Heard on ABC Radio about 3:30PM Astronomers have found a planet that is illuminated by 5 suns.

The planet revolves around two of the suns while another two revolve around the planet. No further mention of the fifth sun.
Also the scientists are puzzled by the discovery.

Anyone else hear of more?

Cheers

Is this the one that planet hunters had a hand in?

I heard it was four suns.

Hi Grant,
I believe it to be 4 suns as well. ABC have had inaccuracies in the past with astronomical events.
Thanks for that link Jarrod.

That does seem to be the one.

Its an amazing Universe. I feel we know very little about it.

Cheers
