"We are all captives of the pictures in our head -- our belief that the world we have experienced is the world that really exists." -Walter Lippmann For a long time, humans have wondered about life on other worlds, and about worlds around other stars. Until the 1990s, this was mostly speculation and hope. But shortly thereafter, some clues started rolling in. In 1992, the first planet outside of…
