UNBELIEVABLE: Sun | History Defined

In 1995, astronomers found a planet circling a Sun-like star, and the solar system stopped looking unique

In 1995, scientists made a revolutionary find with the discovery of 51 Pegasi b, a massive exoplanet in a tight orbit around its star. This startling revelation contradicted prior assumptions about how planets form, opening our eyes to the possibility of planetary systems that aren't structured like our own.
