* ScienceMarchesOn: In book two, it's mentioned that the nearest exoplanet to Earth (other than Trisolaris, which orbits Alpha Centauri) is sixteen light-years away. In November 2018, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnard%27s_Star_b a planet]] was discovered orbiting Barnard's Star, just six light-years away.
** And earlier, in August 2016, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri_b Proxima Centauri b]] was found at a mere 4.2 light-years away.
** It's also stated that the Alpha Centauri system used to have twelve planets, but Trisolaris is the only one left. Two planets have since been confirmed to exist around Proxima Centauri (Proxima Centauri b and d) and two strong candidates (Proxima Centauri c and Alpha Centauri Aa) are being studied.

-->'''Barack Obama''': The scope of [the trilogy] was immense. So that was fun to read, partly because my day-to-day problems with Congress seem fairly petty — not something to worry about. Aliens are about to invade!
