Scientists say they are rethinking how the weather works after creating a 3D map of an exoplanet 900 light-years away and discovering a world with jet streams fueling wild storms.
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2025 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2025. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity , the listed value for mass is a lower limit.
Four exoplanets of the HR 8799 system imaged by the W. M. Keck Observatory over the course of seven years. Motion is interpolated from annual observations. Comparison of the size of exoplanets orbiting Kepler-37 to Mercury, Mars and Earth. An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. The first possible evidence of an ...
SPECULOOS-3 b is an Earth-sized exoplanet, orbiting the ultracool red dwarf star SPECULOOS-3.It is relatively close to Earth, at a distance of 55 light-years. [4] SPECULOOS-3 b takes only about 17 hours to complete an orbit around SPECULOOS-3, and, because of that proximity, it receives very high levels of radiation and is tidally locked, meaning that one side of the planet always faces its ...
HIP 65426 b, formally named Najsakopajk, [3] is a super-Jupiter exoplanet orbiting the star HIP 65426. It was discovered on 6 July 2017 by the SPHERE consortium using the Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) instrument belonging to the European Southern Observatory (ESO), [5] [6] being the first planet discovered by the SPHERE instrument.

HIP 116454 b, or K2-2 b, [2] is an exoplanet orbiting the star HIP 116454, 62 parsecs (201 ly) from Earth toward the constellation Pisces. It is 32,000 kilometres (20,000 mi) in diameter and 12 times as massive as Earth. [3] [4] It was discovered by the NASA Kepler spacecraft, and is the first exoplanet discovered during Kepler 's K2 mission. [5]
Pluto's reign. For decades, students learned the phrase "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" to remember the order of the planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars ...
This makes it the most reflective exoplanet discovered so far. It completes an orbit around LTT 9779 in less than a day, making temperatures on the day side soar to over 2,000 degrees Celsius. [4] Global climate models of the planet indicate it has a very metal-rich atmosphere, with clouds made of silicate likely being present. [1]
