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.
High pressure experiments suggest large amounts of diamonds are formed from methane on the ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune, while some planets in other planetary systems may be almost pure diamond. [2] Diamonds are also found in stars and may have been the first mineral ever to have formed.
An alternative possibility is that 55 Cancri e is a solid planet made of carbon-rich material rather than the oxygen-rich material that makes up the terrestrial planets in the Solar System. [25] In this case, roughly a third of the planet's mass would be carbon, much of which may be in the form of diamond as a result of the temperatures and ...
Gliese 581g / ˈ ɡ l iː z ə / was a candidate exoplanet postulated to orbit within the Gliese 581 system, twenty light-years from Earth. [9] It was discovered by the Lick–Carnegie Exoplanet Survey, and was the sixth planet claimed to orbit the star; [10] however, its existence could not be confirmed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) / High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher ...

Scientists say they have found new evidence that there is a hidden planet in our solar system. For years, some astronomers have been suggesting that unusual behaviour on the edge of our solar ...
The two new studies represent the first in-depth analyses of the Bennu samples. In 2023, scientists announced preliminary findings, including traces of carbon and water locked up in clay minerals .
An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
