It's not a troll post, it's a very serious and good post.
It's not just amazing how far we've come, but also amazing how much detail they knew about in 1922 with much smaller and simpler telescopes. Jupiter is at least 628 million km away.
New York public library's digital collections include scans of early astrophotographic prints.

This is a previously unknown planetoid in the Astroid belt, just behind Ceres. It was discovered accidentally when my pea soup was burned in the kettle early this morning.
Looks a lot more like burned corn soup. And we all know that there's no corn growing behind Ceres, so I say this is NOT a planetoid.
