Hey so.
there are planets around other stars.
We know this for a fact. we can detect them in all sorts of different ways. WE CAN EVEN SEE THEM occasionally.
it’s a planet! we have IMAGED a planet around another star in the infrared. it was taken by the gemini telescope in hawaii in 2008. it’s name is 1RSX J160929.1-210524
the crazy thing is that the other planetary systems out there don’t look very much like our own!
So, we’ve brought in an expert on worldbuilding! It’s Patrick McHale! the genius creator of over the garden wall.
