In the early days, looking for wobbly stars may have been the best way for the ancient Coruscanti to find exoplanets. At least, that’s how it’s done on Earth. Thousands have been discovered in our neighborhood of the Galaxy. Planet hunters look for twitchy stars out to about 160 light-years from Earth. And, like all stars with planets, our Sun wobbles, too. The combined gravity of the planets is what causes the Sun’s wobble, especially mighty Jupiter, which is bigger than the other planets put together.

The first confirmation of an exoplanet orbiting an ordinary star was made in 1995, almost twenty years after A New Hope. This giant planet was found in a four-day orbit around the nearby star 51 Pegasi.

There was continuous belief in the principle of mediocrity, and the notion of life-bearing worlds out in the depths of space. However, no evidence was ever found.

Attitude is usually defined by three characteristics: pitch, yaw, and roll. Each one is affected by a different control surface, namely the elevators, rudder, and ailerons, respectively. Each is involved with rotation of the aircraft on one of three axes.

The only satellite galaxies visible to the naked eye are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which, even though they’ve been observed since early civilization, were nonetheless named for a Portuguese explorer who rather belatedly spotted them in 1519.
