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 ...
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.

On 6 January 2015, NASA announced the 1000th confirmed exoplanet discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope. Three of the newly confirmed exoplanets were found to orbit within habitable zones of their host stars: two of the three, Kepler-438b and Kepler-442b, are near-Earth-size and likely rocky; the third, Kepler-440b, is a super-Earth.
The planets in the Kepler-444 system have radii of 0.4, 0.497, 0.53, 0.546 and 0.741 Earth radii, respectively. Due to their size and proximity to Kepler-444, these must be rocky planets, with masses close to that of Mars. For comparison, Mars has a mass of 0.105 Earth masses and a radius of 0.53 Earth radii. System with largest total planetary ...
K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb is the most distant exoplanet discovered by the Kepler space telescope, being twice the distance of its previous record.Its distance is estimated at 16,960 ly from the Earth, being discovered on January 4, 2022, thanks to an effect of gravitational microlensing from a series of data recorded in 2016, then revealed on March 31, 2022.
Seven Earth-sized planets have been discovered orbiting a nearby star, three of which appear to be warm enough to sustain life. ... The newly discovered exoplanets are 40 light-years away and may ...
Motion interpolation of seven images of the HR 8799 system taken from the W. M. Keck Observatory over seven years, featuring four exoplanets. This is a list of extrasolar planets that have been directly observed, sorted by observed separations. This method works best for young planets that emit infrared light and are far from the glare of the star.
