1943 A. E. van Vogt M 33 in Andromeda in Astounding Sci.-Fiction Aug. 137/2	The fourth star was Sol-size, Sol-type. Of its three planets, one made a neat orbit at eighty million miles, a steaming world of jungle and primeval seas.
1950 P. Anderson Star Ship in Planet Stories Oct. 74/1	—we'd been a few weeks out of Avandar—it was an obscure outpost then, though I imagine it's grown since—when we detected this Sol-type sun. Seeing that there was an Earth-like planet, we decided to investigate. And since we were all tired of being cooped in the ship, and telescopes showed that any natives which might exist would be too primitive to endanger us, we all went down in the lifeboat.
1958 ‘C. M. Knox’ Frontier Planet in Super-Sci. Fiction June 86/1	The hot Sol-type sun had burned away the morning clouds, leaving clear blue sky for the afternoon.
