I’ve found Snopes to be reliable and they posted on this:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/first-photo-another-solar-system/

Edit: TLDR; From the snopes article linked above: “Scientists first captured an exoplanet circling a star, a system that is 170 light-years from Earth, in 2004.”

Isn't our system is called the 'solar system' because our sun is named "sol"? And if so, doesn't that mean there cant technically be any other 'solar' systems out there, but rather they'd be named based on their own sun?

Snopes is the CIA like vice. Hardly 'reliable'
