Kepler-16b traces a wide orbit around the two stars in its binary system, rather than orbiting either star alone.

Kepler-16b crossed in front of its stars and briefly dimmed their light, producing the transit signal Kepler measured.

Kepler-16b is a cold gas giant about the size of Saturn, so it does not offer a solid surface for a double-sunset view.

Tatooine's two suns inspired Kepler-16b's nickname because the exoplanet also circles a pair of stars.
