It was long thought that planets couldn’t stably orbit systems containing three stars. GW Orionis is the first counterexample.

Even though stars come in singlets, binaries, trinaries, and even greater numbers of multi-star systems, we’d only ever found stars orbiting one β€” or, at most, two β€” stars.

~~They mean stars. This is notable because it's the first planet found orbiting more than two stars.~~

Nevermind, that is written horribly. I think you're correct.
