The exoplanets were found using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity". 95% of the discovered exoplanets were smaller than Neptune and four, including Kepler-296f, were less than 2 1/2 the size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water.

Discovered in 1989 by Latham to have a minimum mass of 11.069 ± 0.063 M J (at 90°) and a probable mass of approximately 63.2 M J (at 10°), [271] making the former planet the first to be spotted, [272] and confirmed in 1991, it was thought to be the first discovered exoplanet until 2019 when it was confirmed to be a low-mass star with the ...
This infant world, estimated at around 10 to 20 times the mass of Earth, is one of the youngest planets beyond our solar system - called exoplanets - ever discovered.
All exoplanets orbit around star A in the binary system. 47 Ursae Majoris: Ursa Major: 10 h 59 m 27.97 s +40° 25′ 48.9″ 5.10: 46: G0V: 1.029: 5892: 7.434: 3: Planet Taphao Thong was discovered in 1996 and was one of the first exoplanets to be discovered. [48] The planet was the first long-period extrasolar planet discovered. The other ...
The planet is about the size of Venus, so slightly smaller than Earth, and may be temperate enough to support life, the researchers said. Dubbed Gliese 12 b, the planet takes 12.8 days to orbit a ...
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2025 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2025. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity , the listed value for mass is a lower limit.
Thousands of planets outside of our solar system, known as exoplanets, have been found in recent years, but few have existed in conditions that scientists predict could foster life.
