* ScienceMarchesOn: The book makes an offhand mention of a 1985 five discovery of five planets around [[UsefulNotes/LocalStars Barnard's Star]], with one of the planets being Earth-like. This was not ''quite'' an unreasonable assumption at the time of the book's publication, due to astronomer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_van_de_Kamp Peter van de Kamp's]] claims of having observed the star being perturbed by its own planets. However, said claims were ultimately refuted, and as of 2023 it is unknown whether or not Barnard's Star has any planets.
