      Yes! This is a very cool question, thanks!

      Searches for planets outside the Solar System (Exoplanets) has been a very popular thing lately, and we keep learning more and more about them. Scientist use telescopes to find them and some of them have the necessary conditions to have life on them, which is very exciting!

      In addition, we know a big deal about other things outside the Solar System. Like for example, how galaxies, black holes and stars are formed, what are they made of, what the different types are. And the list could go on and on…
