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.
The first report of an exoplanet within this range was in 1998 for a planet orbiting around Gliese 876 (15.3 light-years (ly) away), and the latest as of 2024 is one around Struve 2398 A (11.5 ly). The closest exoplanets are those found orbiting the star closest to the Solar System, which is Proxima Centauri 4.25 light-years away
The first such project (NameExoWorlds I), in 2015, regarded the naming of stars and exoplanets. [1] 573,242 votes were submitted by members by the time the contest closed on October 31, 2015, and the names of 31 exoplanets and 14 stars were selected from these. [2] Many of the names chosen were based on world history, mythology and literature. [3]
In 2023, astronomers used the radial velocity method to confirm that the exoplanet Wolf 1069 b sits in the habitable zone of Wolf 1069. Located 31 light years from Earth, this planet is 1.26 times the mass of Earth and has a radius of 1.08 times the Earth's. Though Wolf 1069 b is likely tidally locked, its daylight side may still be habitable.

Exoplanets have been discovered using several different methods for collecting or combining direct images to isolate planets from the background light of their star. Non-Redundant Aperture Masking Interferometry is a method of combining the views of multiple telescopes into a single image, while the other methods are algorithms for combining ...
The Exoplanet Archive serves photometric time-series data from surveys that aim to discover transiting exoplanets, such as the Kepler Mission and CoRoT. The database provides access to over 22 million light curves from space and ground-based exoplanet transit survey programs, including: Kepler and K2 Public Survey Data; CoRoT Exoplanet Survey data
It was the youngest transiting exoplanet until the discovery of IRAS 04125+2902 b in 2024. There are relatively few other exoplanets discovered to date with an age this young, all of which are non-transiting (with some that were detected around hot A-type and B-type stars , such as HD 95086 b and HIP 78530 b , however these could be brown ...
