We first detected exoplanets in 1992 (that was for a planet orbitig a neutron star, for one orbiting a "vanilla" star it was 1995). So until 25-30 years ago, we had NO data on the frequency of exoplanets. Exoplanet hunting really only hit its stride in the 2010s. Things have become a lot clearer in the last couple of decades. I guess it's easy to take our current knowledge for granted. |
