Right, but our solar system is the only one. All other groups of planets revolving Suns are called Extrasolar Planetary Systems not Solar Systems.

Reply to TIL that back in 2013, Xerox had scanners that would randomly change numbers after scanning a document. by COMPUTER1313
As an embedded engineer, I'm proud that I guessed the problem after only reading the first paragraph, having never done this exact type of engineering.
All I did was think of how I would have personally handled these scans and how I could have screwed it up.

Makes sense, when most of the land is on one half of the earth it makes it hard for anything but ocean to be on the other half. The Pacific ocean take of 30% of the worlds surface.
