Exoplanets

6,372 confirmed planets around other stars: the real catalog, from the NASA Exoplanet Archive.

Every world below is a confirmed discovery. Data: NASA Exoplanet Archive (Caltech/IPAC), planetary systems composite table, cached Sep 27, 2026. Values are the archive’s best estimates and carry uncertainties; blank cells mean the quantity has not been measured, never guessed.

Worlds worth knowing4

Proxima Centauri bCircling the star next door, this Earth-mass world is the closest possible exoplanet.

TRAPPIST-1eAstronomy's favorite habitable-zone world: rocky, temperate, and testable.

Kepler-452bA possibly rocky world in a Sun-like star's habitable zone, nicknamed 'Earth's older cousin'.

51 Pegasi bThe planet that started it all was the first world found orbiting a normal star.

How we find themTransits, wobbles, microlensing, astrometry and direct imaging, and the blind spots each one has.

Where the known planets sit

Each dot is a confirmed planet, placed by the length of its year and by its size. The rings mark our own Solar System for scale.

5,964 of the 5,972 planets with a known period and radius are drawn; the rest fall outside these axes. Radii of planets that do not transit are usually estimated from their mass. Tap or hover a dot for its name. Source: NASA Exoplanet Archive, updated Sep 27, 2026.

Discoveries by year, and how they were made

Since 2010, transit surveys have found more planets than the wobble method every year. Hover or tap a year for its breakdown.

* Equilibrium temperature is the airless-world estimate; a real atmosphere changes it (Earth’s is −18 °C by this measure, +15 °C in reality). “—” means the archive lists no measured value.

An exoplanet being in the habitable zone does NOT mean life has been found there. It means liquid water is possible with the right atmosphere. No life has been detected beyond Earth. Read more in Habitable Zones.
