Back in 1977 (when Star Wars came out), NASA launched the Voyager space probes to travel beyond the solar system. Voyager 1 went north, and Voyager 2 went south.
Now they both reached the heliosheath (the edge of the solar system), and astronomers were startled to learn that they are different distances from the sun.
This indicates that the solar system is dented, not a circle.
Surprised astronomers said they will have to change their models for what the solar system looks like.
