who knew about THIS??

Even though it was spotted almost 100 years ago this is an astronomical phenomenon that is getting a lot of buzz finally.

All astronomers and almost every space fan has heard of the phenomena of exoplanets.

The most famous of these is named kepler 452-b due to it’s “Earth like” atmosphere.  It is even sometimes called a “Super Earth”.

However, these have only been seen recently through large telescopes.  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.

Is this too much to get one’s mind around or what do you thing about it?

Let’s find out more about what they actually saw in 1917 on page 2
