There's me thinking the game was big... then I realised I was only exploring one solar system in a whole galaxy. God damn you, Electronic Arts. God damn you all.
ONE solar system? There are scores of them man! I think tey open up more as the main game progresses though. Go to the Mass Relay for all the different systems within the different star clusters, and scan the planets for resources and missions. Sometimes while scanning a planet you'll get "Anomaly Detected", which is another mission to go on. (Don't forget to top up your fuel before you start interstellar travel or you'll run out and it'll start taking credits from you.)
As you progress through the game, more and more side-missions will open up - believe me, it took me ages to get through them all.
Just checked - there are 19 side-mission worlds that you land on for a mission, plus over a hundred scannable planets. There are also HUB worlds like the Citadel, Illium, Omega and Tuchanka. Then there are places you'll visit for story missions and loyalty missions. Tons.
EDIT:
Oh hold on I've just realised - you already figured that shit out, right? I thought you meant you only knew about one solar system. Sorry man.
