Astronomers say planet, called Kepler-16bs found that has the unique, two twin suns. Planet located approximately 200 light years from Earth and has a mass similar to the planet Saturn.
And while the astronomers observed at the NASA Kepler passed probe to the twin suns. The guardian, Wednesday reported is (16.09.2011).

Alan boss, a researcher at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC and a member of the team that discovered the Kepler 16bs, said: "you will not receive the constant sunlight because of the two stars are so close together."
"they come together in an Eclipse every 20.5 days and then move apart again when their separation increases, they are down at different times," he added.
