But what if you could find someone who does?

[I know you have asked about solar systems and these verses are about universes...
but the principle is the same. If you want to find out about something you can't
see you have to find someone who has seen it.. Otherwise how can you ever know?]

"The layers of the elements covering the universes are each ten times thicker than
the one before, and all the universes clustered together appear like atoms in a
huge combination."

The coverings of the universes are also constituted of the elements of earth,
water, fire, air and ether, and each is ten times thicker than the one before. The
first coving of the universe is earth, and that is ten times thicker than the
universe itself. The covering of water is ten times the covering of earth, the
covering of fire is ten times the watery covering, the covering of air is ten
times greater than that of the fire, the covering of ether is ten times greater
still than that of air, and so on.

The universe within the coverings of matter appears to be like an atom in
comparison to the coverings, and the number of universes is unknown, even to those
who can estimate the coverings of the universes...

(From Srimad Bhagavatam Third Canto)
