Two suns in the sunset

NASA’s Kepler mission has discovered a planet orbiting two stars, something like Tatooine in Star Wars. However, unlike Tatooine, this planet is a gas giant about the size and mass of Saturn. But if you had a place to stand near the surface of this planet, you might see a sunset something like the one Luke Skywalker saw.
