“The funny thing is, we still can’t fully explain it. We just got much better at finding planets, so now we see them everywhere we look.”
TRUTH: Before 1995, astronomers had strong theories but no direct proof of exoplanets. That changed with the discovery of 51 Pegasi b, the first confirmed planet orbiting a sun-like star.
