Read this. A Solar System was found that looks like ours! I would like to discover it in Celesta.

It seems to me that the presence of a Jupiter-sized planet in a Jupiter-sized orbit hardly makes it a system "like ours" when there's also a planet of 0.84 times the mass of Jupiter orbiting their sun at a distance of 0.11 AU. That makes it just a wee little bit different
