[DJ] Science confirms ‘Doctor Who-type world, Gallifrey’

post #1 of 3

NASA has confirmed the existence of a real-universe analogue of Gallifrey, the fictional Time Lord planet that features in the BBC science-fiction drama series, Doctor Who.
According to an article in the Register, NASA came across what it calls a “transiting circumbinary multi-planet system” – in layman’s speak, “two worlds orbiting two suns” – using its Kepler planet-hunting telescope, and the Register likens to “Doctor Who’s Time Lord homeworld [of] Gallifrey – or alternatively the luxury-planet-builders’ planet Magrathea [from] The Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy”!

Kind of old (from August) but I didn't see any other post like this when I searched.

Anyways, hope the real name will be Gallifrey.

I was hoping for a planet in a Time Lock but I guess that would be stretching plausibility.
