Astronomy / Space Does Frontier add new systems to the game based on news?

You may need to play with your filters to show uninhabited systems. Also there are different catalogue (e.g. HIP, HR, LHS, LTT) IDs for the same system in many cases.
 
They tweaked a system that was in the right kinda place for Trappist to mimic the discoveries, added geysers to Sol locations when they were found in real life, stuff like that. For major stuff yep they will inject stuff, normally in the next big patch.
 
Omg I'm an idiot, I forgot that the distance it shows is how far I am from the target I viewed, I didn't have Sol selected ... you're right, it's only about 6 Ly :D

Pretty cool news nonetheless!
 
Actually, maybe the other way around. Elite has predicted enough for astronomers to start using the game's galaxy map to look for nearby earth-like candidates? ;)

I wish they did, a bit over a year ago I posted about HL Tau. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/238760-Proto-planets

I'd love to be able to see it though I get it might be hard to render in game.
