Stars very very very bright.

Planets not so bright.

Looking proof of existence is easy.

Looking for proof of non-existence is hard.

Incomplete mathematical interpretations of physics and gravity, and how they affect us and our solar-system make everything guesses until we have either, 1. More sensors out there, or 2. Understand gravity and the dark matter problem more.

Also!!! Big space telescope points in the same direction for a very long time to get those photos! You can’t do the same thing for things moving so much faster in our own solar system.
