Some of space's weirdest exoplanets #15
Remember #10, the planet with the triple star system? Well, this planet just took it to a whole notha level! Known as Kepler-64b, this lucky planet orbits a quadruple star system. It has a circumbinary orbit, which means that it orbits around two stars instead of one. How this system probably works is that there are two pairs of stars orbiting around each other. The sky of this planet would undoubtedly be very cool with four stars on it.
