Orbiting a Binary Star
Description
Many people consider binary star systems as unlikely places to look for habitable planets. Planetary formation in such systems may experience difficulties not seen in single star systems, and gravitational disruptions could eject any planets that do form. Yet in 2011, astronomers detected the first exoplanet that orbits around both stars in a binary system.
