"Nearby"
-
In my google news feed, I saw this.
Wait, wat?
A Jupiter-like planet "nearby?" How is it that no-one saw it.
Oh, by "nearby," you mean this
An international team of astrophysicists using NASA's Kepler space telescope, which ceased operations in 2018, have discovered an exoplanet similar to Jupiter located 17,000 light-years from Earth, making it the farthest exoplanet ever found by Kepler.
Oh. So the things we see on this "nearby" planet happened at the time that THESE things were happening on Earth.

17,000 years ago not 1,700 years ago. I think it was more like stone knives and bear skins. Not much else.
