People used to imagine Star Wars when they heard about the massive universe and galaxies. But, thanks to the development of science, particularly astrophysics, today, we know many things about the universe. Scientists got tremendous success in the field of space exploration, but the best is yet to come.
More about the Discovery by Scientists
In 1995, for the first time, scientists discovered the first planet outside the solar system. After the initial discovery, they never looked back. Since then, they discovered around as high as 4,000 exoplanets. Kenneth Carpenter, a scientist from the Hubble Space Telescope project, remarked the journey outstanding. When the Star War movie screened for the first time, people knew about the existence of planets outside the solar system, but they had no evidence to support their claim, he added. He further stated that the number of exoplanets increased significantly over time, and human beings found every kind of planet shown in Star War movies. Currently, the reality is much more complicated in comparison to the movies, he claimed.

After getting a massive success in discovering exoplanets, currently, scientists are focusing more on planets that can sustain life. A planet requires being in Goldilocks zone for having life, as the zone provides an optimal environment for sustaining a life source, such as sunlight, water in liquid form, and surface to stay.
