Very awesome.

But thread title is inaccurate: PH1 orbits two stars and is orbited by two more. PH1 doesn't really orbit all four.

[Valin]

I wonder if it ever has a Nightfall?

 

[Random_Spock]

Wow. That's one really neat discovery.

 

[Tiberius]

I'd love to see an animation of how everything orbits everything else...

 

[John Mason]

Hmm four points of light...
must be a planet for freemasons ha ha ha ...

^^^ Nope. That's one too many points. Now, if it was a trinary star system, then yes. It would be perfect for us.
