AP reported that Kepler space telescope found the planet. The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) calls it Tatooine, the name of a planet with two suns in the movie "Star Wars".

Tatooine is about the same size as Saturn, quite cold and unable to nourish life. It revolves around two stars about 200 light-years from Earth.

Astronomers have discovered signs of many planets revolving around two stars, but this is the first time they have attested to that phenomenon.

The Kepler telescope was launched into space in 2009 to search for planets - especially Earth-like bodies - in space.
