| Summary: | Kepler-16 is a binary star system with a circumbinary exoplanet. |
| Description: | The Kepler-16 binary star system with its circumbinary exoplanet is similar in mass to Saturn. This is the first confirmed exoplanet to orbit two stars (similar to Tatooine from "Star Wars"). This system includes K-class and M-class stars as well as a Sudarsky class II exoplanet (this is an educated guess based on estimated temperature of the planet). Enjoy! |

The planet is centered on the barycenter of the Kepler-16 system because it is orbiting *both* stars.

I think gravitational center is wrong because it's not Kepler 16A (main star)
