I was reading an old Asimov novel called Pebble in the Sky, and it somewhat irked me that Sirius and Aldebaran were described as major stat systems of the Galactic Empire.
Sirius is too young to have had time to develop planets with higher life (if evolution on Earth is anything to go by), and Aldebaran is an Orange Giant which would have eaten up planets in the habitable zone.
But was this known in 1950? I think it was, but I'm no expert on the matter, so I may be wrong.
