  In 1992 astronomers discovered the first planets outside of the solar system, 12, 2300 light-years away!!!!

In 1992 the planet Draugr was among the first discovered (there were a few found at the same time). Draugr has the same name as the zombies in Skyrim for a reason. It is roughly twice the size of our moon, but is orbiting an old star that died and collapsed into a pulsar. Having been blasted by fire during a possible supernova during the death of its star, and today constantly doused in radiation by the pulsar it orbits, it is safe to say that Draugr is a very dead world.
