A team of Carnegie scientists has discovered three giant planets in a binary star system composed of stellar ''twins'' that are also effectively siblings of our Sun. One star hosts two planets and the other hosts the third. The system represents the smallest-separation binary in which both stars host planets that has ever been observed. The findings,which may befriend explain the influence that giant planets like Jupiter believe over a solar system's architecture, believe been accepted for publication in The Astronomical Journal.
