This artist's concept shows Gamma Cephei, a star system that consists of two stars and at least one planet (foreground). University of Texas astronomers are studying the layout of Gamma Cephei and other planetary systems to learn whether they are laid out in the same way as our own solar system, with all of the stars and planets aligned roughly in the same plane.
