One Sun is plenty for our solar system, but some planets have been found orbiting two stars at once. Now the ante has been upped again, with evidence emerging of a planet orbiting three stars at once.

Star clusters are not only beautiful to look at through telescopes, but they're also the key to unlocking the mysteries of how a star is born.

Astronomers have found clues to a large planet orbiting three stars.

It's like a Tatooine supreme.

Researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) in the United States said they had discovered an exoplanet orbiting three suns, also known as the 3rd Binary Star (Trinari).

Planets orbit stars. Everyone knows that, but have you ever heard of a planet that orbits not two stars, but three?

In 1949 a team of astronomers discovered a star 1,300 light-years from Earth, at the head of Orion the Hunter. Since then, astronomers have found that the star—GW Orionis—has two stellar companions.

Our Solar System, with just one star in the sky, may be a bit of an oddball. Most of the stars in the Milky Way galaxy actually have at least one gravitationally bound stellar companion, meaning that two-starred worlds like Tatooine are probably not uncommon.

Two's company, three's a crowd?

“Star Wars” showed us a planet with two suns in the sky. Now a UNLV researcher and an international team are doing one better: They may have identified the first planet orbiting around three stars.

A discovery was recently made by UNLV astronomers 1,300 light years away from earth.

Forget about one or two sunsets — three might be possible in this solar system.
