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.
A potentially habitable exoplanet that is roughly similar in size to Earth has been found in a system located 40 light-years away, ... 2024 at 5:13 PM.
The asteroid's provisional designation as a minor planet, "2024 YR 4", was assigned by the Minor Planet Center when its discovery was announced on 27 December 2024. [2] The first letter, "Y", indicates that the asteroid was discovered in the second half-month of December (16 to 31 December), and "R 4" indicates that it was the 117th provisional designation to be assigned in that half-month.

The planet is located some 1,200 light-years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. It's the second-lightest exoplanet found so far based on its dimensions and mass, according to the ...
There are eight planets within the Solar System; planets outside of the solar system are also known as exoplanets. Artist's concept of the potentially habitable exoplanet Kepler-186f As of 27 February 2025, there are 5,839 confirmed exoplanets in 4,359 planetary systems , with 979 systems having more than one planet .

The exoplanet completes a single orbit around its host star every 6.2 days. Astronomers observed GJ 9827d during 11 transits, or times when the planet crossed in front of its star during orbit ...
Astrometry has been used to discover a handful number of exoplanets, mostly gas giants more massive than Jupiter. It is based on measuring a star's proper motion, and seeing how that position changes over time: a planet with a sufficiently large mass is able to gravitationally pull its host star, making its proper motion vary over large timescales.
