Astronomers discover planet that never was (https://phys.org/news/2020-04-astronomers-planet.html)
QuoteWhat astronomers thought was a planet beyond our solar system has now seemingly vanished from sight, suggesting that what was heralded as one of the first exoplanets to ever be discovered with direct imaging likely never existed...
Fascinating article.

I personally think that astronomers and astrophysicists have it rough. They have to rely on the senses of instruments that have can serious failings to garner some sort of truth data out of the universe. A lot of what is seen in a telescope is open to conjecture.
