  1. The average star is red, so ours is a bit special. The majority of stars exist in binary systems, so ours is a bit more special still. The majority of planetary systems we’ve observed have their gas giants on the inside, closest orbits, and ours seem to be the opposite of that norm. I could keep on listing reasons why our star is strangely unique all day, but scientists don’t seem to like thinking of our solar system is special in any way, on an almost personal level. Something to do with a theo-phobic instinct, it seems.
