The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with 8 confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with 7 planets. The 1007 multiplanetary systems are listed below according to the star's distance from Earth. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, has three planets (b, c and d).
CoRoT-7 (TYC 4799-1733-1) is a binary star system made up of a late G-type star [1] and a M-dwarf star that was discovered in 2021. [3] The primary star has three exoplanets, [5] including CoRoT-7b, a super-Earth exoplanet that is remarkable due to its extremely high temperature (around 2000 °C) and very short orbital period, around 20 hours.
Circumbinary planet in unusually massive host star system [4] ... First identified as a brown dwarf, but revealed to be an exoplanet in 2021. [8] EPIC 201427007 b:
This is the second-most planets so far discovered around any star be. In our solar system, little rocky Mercury is the planet orbiting closest to the sun, perpetually fried by solar radiation ...
An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
Seven Earth-sized planets have been discovered orbiting a nearby star, three of which appear to be warm enough to sustain life, according to astronomers from NASA and the European Southern ...
CoRoT-7b (previously named CoRoT-Exo-7b) [3] [4] is an exoplanet orbiting the star CoRoT-7 in the constellation of Monoceros, 489 light-years (150 parsecs) from Earth.It was first detected photometrically by the French-led CoRoT mission and reported in February 2009. [5]
Kepler-7 is a star located in the constellation Lyra in the field of view of the Kepler Mission, a NASA operation in search of Earth-like planets.It is home to the fourth of the first five planets that Kepler discovered; this planet, a Jupiter-size gas giant named Kepler-7b, is as light as styrofoam.
