The timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their natural satellites charts the progress of the discovery of new bodies over history. Each object is listed in chronological order of its discovery (multiple dates occur when the moments of imaging, observation, and publication differ), identified through its various designations (including temporary and permanent schemes), and the ...
On February 26, 2014, NASA announced the discovery of 715 newly verified exoplanets around 305 stars by the Kepler Space Telescope. 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 ...
Animation showing exoplanets by year from 1991 until 2022 (March) with a total of 5005 discoveries. [1] An exoplanet (extrasolar planet) is a planet located outside the Solar System. The first evidence of an exoplanet was noted as early as 1917, but was not recognized as such until 2016; no planet discovery has yet come from that evidence. [2]
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2024 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2024. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information. Temp. (K) Host star temp.
First confirmed exoplanet around normal star. 51 Pegasi b. 51 Pegasi. 1995. First convincing exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star. [2] While the minimum mass of HD 114762 b was high enough (11 Jupiter-masses) that it could be a brown dwarf, 51 Peg b's minimum mass meant that it almost certainly was near the mass of Jupiter.
There are eight planets within the Solar System; planets outside of the solar system are also known as exoplanets. As of 6 September 2024, there are 5,756 confirmed exoplanets in 4,297 planetary systems, with 963 systems having more than one planet. [1] Most of these were discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2021 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first observed in 2021. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information. Name. Mass (MJ)
