It had its hair up and was wearing glasses.

Right now a lot of exoplanets we found are big and have tight quick orbits around smaller stars. It makes them easier to see.

As we get better tools and understanding and have more time up observe we'll find more solar systems that resemble our own.

Just like how weird a fancy enough telescope we realized that most of the Dots of light out in the cosmos arnt actually stars but entire galaxies. We likely can’t see individual stars that don’t exist in Our galaxy

No transits, and their low mass means they produce small radial velocity changes. The star is pretty dim, too.
