In The Great Beyond
Every year, scientists find out more about our solar system and the ones outside of it. That’s right. There is more than one solar system. Up until 1991, scientists had no proof of planets beyond our solar system. Then a group of planets were discovered orbiting a dying pulsar star.
In the time since, over 100 planets have been discovered that orbit other stars. Some of these planets are very close to their stars, while others are far away.
