Two massive Jupiter-like planets were recently discovered orbiting around two extremely close sister stars – an unexpected find, given the disturbing gravitational effects within most binary star systems that usually disrupt planets from forming.

The alien planets were found to orbit around the binary star system NN Serpentis, which is located about 1,670 light-years from Earth.

The more massive of the two stars is a very small white dwarf – the burnt-out remnant that is left over when a sun-like star dies.

What a great time to live in an age of discovery,
