Star Wars Planet Like Luke Skywalker’s Home? Astronomers Discover Evidence Of Possible Tatooine In Deep Space

George Lucas may not have been far off in his depiction of Luke Skywalker’s home, according to scientists. Researchers at University College London found evidence of planetary debris orbiting a double sun in deep space, making a real-life Star Wars’ Tatooine entirely possible.

Researchers found the remains of an asteroid orbiting a white dwarf and a brown dwarf in a system called SDSS 1557 some 100 million light years away, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.
