who even knew about this??

There is an astronomical phenomenon which is all the rage now and someone spotted something almost a century ago.  Now most space fans and all astronomers have heard of the phenomena of exoplanets.  The most famous of these is named kepler 452-b due to it’s “Earth like” atmosphere.  However, these have only been seen recently through large telescopes.

This is absolutely a trip!

And now astronomers were surprised by this spotting:

It turns out that a 1917 image on an astronomical glass plate from our Carnegie Observatories’ collection shows the first-ever evidence of a planetary system beyond our own Sun. This unexpected find was recognized in the process of researching an article about planetary systems surrounding white dwarf stars in New Astronomy Reviews.

Can you believe it and they just found out.
