If you visited Kepler-16b, what colors do you think you’d see? Download the coloring page based on our Exoplanet Travel Bureau poster for the world with two suns.

Like Luke Skywalker's planet "Tatooine" in Star Wars, Kepler-16b orbits a pair of red and yellow stars. Depicted here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler-16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren't good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice – well below freezing! If you visited Kepler-16b, what colors do you think you’d see?
