Timeline; 1998

A planet hunter called Debra Fischer, while studying Upsilon Andromidae from the Lick observatory in 1996 found that it was being orbited by at least 3 planets, all gas giants. After a lot of checking, this was announced in 1998. This is the first multi planet system found other than our own Solar System.

There were also quite a few books and movies created this year
