"On ‘ #StarWarsDay’, researchers more than double the number of potential known ‘circumbinary’ planets like the fictional Tatooine, home to Luke Skywalker"

A circumbinary planet is a planet that orbits two suns

More than half of all stars exist in binary star systems or star systems with even more than two stars

This is a very Accelerando-like issue we're up against. I remember when the music copyright mafia busted in and attacked Manfred and how he had a near constant influx of patents and lawsuits coming and going, so much so he required external brain augmentations to process/handle everuthing, and most lawsuits were not even from humans. It's sounding more and more familiar every day. Manfrer was really on to something refusing to deal in money. The future really is a foreign country... 🤷
