Saturn-mass world discovered orbiting two low-mass stars

TL;DR


Summary:
- Astronomers have discovered a gas giant planet orbiting two low-mass stars, known as a "circumbinary" planet.
- This planet, named OGLE-2013-BLG-0341LBb, is about the same mass as Saturn and orbits its two host stars every 7 years.
- Detecting this type of planet is challenging, as the gravitational effects of the two stars can make it difficult to identify the presence of an orbiting planet. This discovery provides valuable insights into how planets can form and evolve in complex stellar systems.
