471325 Taowu (provisional designation 2011 KT 19, formerly nicknamed Niku (/ n iː k uː /)) is a trans-Neptunian object whose orbit is tilted 110° with respect to the planets' orbital plane. Thus, it has a nearly polar retrograde orbit around the Sun .
[3] [4] Only two years later, the longest period of a transiting planet was more than tripled by EPIC 248847494 b, which takes 3650 days to orbit its star. The shortest period is K2-137b, which takes just 0.18 days to orbit its star. There are 60 members of multi-planet systems. Yellow rows denote members of a multi-planet system

51 Pegasi b, officially named Dimidium / d ɪ ˈ m ɪ d i ə m /, is an extrasolar planet approximately 50 light-years (15 parsecs) away in the constellation of Pegasus.It was the first exoplanet to be discovered orbiting a main-sequence star, [3] the Sun-like 51 Pegasi, and marked a breakthrough in astronomical research.
The coldest and oldest planet directly imaged is Epsilon Indi Ab, which has six times Jupiter's mass, an effective temperature of 275 K, and an age of about 3.5 Ga. This list includes the four members of the multi-planet system that orbit HR 8799 .
