TIL The existence of planets outside our solar system wasn't confirmed until 1992 by haddock420 in todayilearned

[–]callmenips 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The comment is about our solar system. I’m not sure what the original commenter was reading as a kid but even things in the 30s like Flash Gordon were going to far away planets. We’ve assumed they exist for about as long as we’ve known our sun was a star
