Artist's concept illustrating Kepler-16b, the first directly detected circumbinary planet, which is a planet that orbits two stars. The two orbiting stars regularly eclipse each other, as seen from our point of view on Earth. The planet also eclipses, or transits, each star. Stellar eclipses are shown here, as well as the transits of the planet across both stars.
