But it doesn't just orbit around one sun - it orbits around two of them! It can orbit two stars because those two stars orbit each other so closely, functioning like one combined gravitational object. Since the planet is very far away from both, the planet feels their combined gravity and moves in a stable, wide orbit around both. This makes PSR B1620‑26 b the first confirmed circumbinary planet — it orbits around the entire binary system, not around each star separately.
