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.
It was directly imaged using the James Webb Space Telescope in 2023 [3] and the image was released in 2024. [ 4 ] As of 2024 [update] , Epsilon Indi Ab is the nearest exoplanet to be directly imaged, and with a temperature of about 275 K (2 °C ; 35 °F ), is also the coolest exoplanet to be directly imaged, and cooler than all but one imaged ...
A potentially habitable exoplanet that is roughly similar in size to Earth has been found in a system located 40 light-years away, according to a new study.
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 size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water.

After all their searching, the rocky exoplanet for which scientists finally found evidence of an atmosphere turned out to be one that probably should not even have one. Being so close to its star ...
These exoplanet candidates are similar in size to Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Astronomers find 85 possible planets which may be cool enough to sustain life Skip to main content
These findings call existing models of exoplanet formation and atmosphere composition into question, which also mark a significant milestone in exploration of exoplanet. In September 2024, again with JWST, it was revealed that there is an east-west asymmetry in the atmospheric properties (e.g, climate, cloud structure) of WASP-107b, which ...
The exoplanet has exceedingly low density for its size, an international team reported Tuesday. The gas giants in our solar system — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — are much denser.
