I know what you guys are thinking, Trek has been vindicated, the Romulans are out there, ready to decloak and rain their Plasma down on Earth...well for now, that isn't the case.
In this instance, Romulus and Remus are....Asteroids!
Astronomers have discovered the first Triple Asteroid - its an Asteroid (Known as 87 Sylvia) that is orbited by 2 other, smaller Asteroids. (Now known as Romulus and Remus)
The Asteroids are out in the Asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. The Astronomers didn't think they would ever find a Triple-Asteroid, because orbital Ateroids are usually formed by a collision between two objects, and the resulting ejecta from the collision goes on to form the orbiting body, just like how our Moon was formed.
Since the ejecta would gather over time, only one 'Moon' would form, which is why this Asteroid is so unusual, and the first one known.
This is a link with info (And artist's impressions' movies) about the Asteroids, but of course, you can also do a google to find out more, just type in '87 Sylvia', or 'Romulus and Remus +Asteroids'.
