If you include small planets and planetoids, probably all stars have a “solar system” of planets and other debris from their formation. Various estimates between half and 3/4 for stars with large planets.

So, Earth is still special by comparison? This stuff is so hard to wrap your brain around! I WANT us to be, ‘the only ones’ with carbon-based Life and a History going back eons.

But, I’m not averse to inter-stellar company. ;)
