  • Nope. Those are planets. Tatooine has 2 suns.

  • Actually, those are two stars (There are three in the picture). Gliese 667 is a trinary star system, so there are three stars. Two stars are orbiting each other in the center of the system, and another star, Gleise 667C, orbits those two, and 667C is the star housing all three of these potentially habitable planets. So, basically, you have one binary system in the center, which is orbited by a star, which is orbited by these planets.

  • The planets would suffer from some weird gravitational pull.

  • Not necessarily, Gliese 667C orbits the barycenter of A and B at a distance of 230 AU. That's a very long distance, not nearly enough for the two stars to have any noticeable effects on C.
