Yes, though that number is shrinking daily. I’ve been in totally undiscovered space for 30 weeks, discovering everything out here.

Keep off the Galactic plain .... as has been said before, drop down, or go up by about 500 ly and you will discover new systems sooner as you proceed.
Keep jumping for a while, without checking anything in order to build up some distance between the Bubble and your position.
Drop down even further than 500 (or climb above) if you wish, although in some areas stars start to get scarce and then you find a lot of discovered systems again because everyone is channelled into those areas.

I just found an untagged earthlike world less than 1000 ly from the bubble last night.
I keep coming back to the bubble. I can't do what down to earth astronomy guy had done, leaving never to come back..
This is a bit arbitrary but if i want some discoveries i tend to go directly "up" or "down" from the galactic plane about 2-300ly and then head out, as Spock says many commanders seem limited to thinking in 2 dimensions.
Obviously round the bubble more is found but even on the major sightseeing routes you can often find fresh systems just by picking the next star manually.

Fly "up" above the galactic plain, about 1000ly should do it, then go in almost any direction, except towards the core (because it's well travelled).
Then you'll be stumbling over loads of systems.
If you really want to guarantee you find virgin systems, fly as high or as low as you can possibly go, and work your way around the sparsely populated areas.
Just don't get stuck, refuel fully at every available star, and never run below 50% fuel (so you can definitely get back to the previous scoopable star).
I advise you take an extra fuel tank for this.
But, that view of the galaxy from up there is breathtaking.

Wow.. that Is so cool. I've gotten two 64t fuel tanks and 1.4t p/s fuel scoopFly "up" above the galactic plain, about 1000ly should do it, then go in almost any direction, except towards the core (because it's well travelled).

128+t of fuel might be overkill. Lol
But yeah, you won't be getting stuck.
That screenshot was about 8-9,000ly from the bubble. That tiny red nebula is Barnard's Loop. Lol
Have you checked EVERY system in the game's galaxy?
That's still 144 million stars (if not systems)!
3 million copies of the Game are sold. That's 48 systems per copy.That's still 144 million stars (if not systems)!
My Advice (Due to 1,000 ly around the bubble being discovered) find a nice nebula or just a interesting spot at least 7,000 ly away. Then plot a dog leg route in any direction up, down, left, right of about 1,000ly mid point and pretty much everything will be undiscovered (Until you discover it) take a detailed surface scanner with you and when you find that ringed Earth-like you can put your name on it
Most nebulae are commander magnets. Usually won't find a lot of undiscovered in the vicinity.

I've visited 37,696 systems, that's 785 average players' worth. I'm doing my bit
Get down to +/- 1000 ly, jump on the neutron superhighway speed out to about 7k or so ly and start scanning.
I think that those statistics very well reveal how many new players actually stay in the game.I've visited 37,696 systems, that's 785 average players' worth. I'm doing my bit
Does it though, by itself?
That assumes all new players must find new systems
If you don't leave the bubble or stay to the beaten paths
The trip to the Pleiades is still considered "too far" by some players, so they would likely never add to the exploration of the galaxy despite playing
It will get to the point where if you see a discovered system out there you will jump up and down with excitement
