UM-Bot Posted March 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Astronomers believe that desert planets similar to Tatooine in Star Wars might actually be common. One of the most memorable scenes in the original Star Wars sees a young Luke Skywalker silhouetted against the twin sunsets of his home planet to the sound of John Williams' timeless score.

quasar_kid Posted March 31, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well, sure, it'd be conceited of us to think we're the only planet that has a form of civilisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie_Dwarf Posted March 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well, sure, it'd be conceited of us to think we're the only planet that has a form of civilisation. The article has absolutely nothing to do with civilisations. It's about whether rocky planets can form around binary stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianp Posted March 31, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Yes but Binary Stars systems are common and rocky planets are where we will find life like our own. So if rocky planets couldn't form in binary stars systems it would significantly reduce the number of potential life supporting star systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is already: probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena1979 Posted April 1, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Young Skywalker - rest now you must. For someday, save galaxy you will. Think of civilizations - reference to Star Wars - you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie_Dwarf Posted April 1, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2015 like Mars in the past Sorry, you've lost me here. How is a rocky planet existing around a binary star system like Mars in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
