NASA's Kepler space telescope recently made the news by finding a planet that orbits a double-star system, a situation that brought to mind the fictional planet Tatooine of the movie Star Wars.  On such a planet, if it had a solid surface, you could see a double sunset. 

This worksheet explores the orbital mechanics of such a system.
