Exoplanet Encyclopedia entry (the main page still has it listed in Latest News as the first transiting circumbinary planet)

Here's the Wikipedia page on the system

Here's a Wikipedia also a Wikipedia page that says there are several older confirmed ones, presumably by methods other than transiting.

Here's an article from Sky & Telescope about the Kepler-16 planet.

I remember reading about this back in September and getting pretty excited; it's not exactly Tatooine  or anything, but still pretty neat. (it's Saturn-esque, if I remember correctly)

I have considered adding exoplanets to real stars. The issue is that the system generation is so complex, it would be difficult to intervene in the correct place . I will definitely look at this at some point though, as well as updating the Sol system to use the new dwarf planet definition and add Eris, Sedna, etc.

Ceres? :X

[Mel Vixen]

Ceres is one of the dwarfplanets in our solarsystem as well as the roman Goddes of agriculture. The gravity of 0.028G is pretty weak but strong enough to keep you on the object if you leap into the air.

For sol exist 5 dwarfplanets namely: Pluto, Ceres, Eris (1 Moon) which was formaly know as Xena, Haumea(2 moons) and Makemake. Furthermore exist 4 ""nearly certain" dwarf planets which are Orcus (1 moon), Quaoar(1 moon), 2007 OR10 (nicknamed at first "Snow white" later 7th Dwarf because its a actually rather red) and Sedna.
