First planet discovered to have a retrograde orbit [134] and first to have quartz (crystalline silica, SiO 2) in its clouds. [135] Has an exteremely low density of 0.08 g/cm 3, [136] the lowest of any exoplanet when it was discovered, and was possibly the largest exoplanet at the time of discovery, with a radius of 1.92 R J. [137] KELT-19 Ab: 1 ...
TrES-4b is an exoplanet, one of the largest exoplanets ever found. It was discovered in 2006, and announced in 2007, by the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey, using the transit method. It is approximately 1,400 light-years (430 pc) away orbiting the star GSC 02620-00648, in the constellation Hercules. [1]
These lists contain the Sun, the planets, dwarf planets, many of the larger small Solar System bodies (which includes the asteroids), all named natural satellites, and a number of smaller objects of historical or scientific interest, such as comets and near-Earth objects.
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.
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.
Jupiter on Saturday will shine at its brightest for the year, as Earth’s orbit swings our planet between Jupiter and the sun. Weather permitting, the gas giant will not only be brighter than ...
Title Planet Star Data Notes Most massive The most massive planet is difficult to define due to the blurry line between planets and brown dwarfs.If the borderline is defined as the deuterium fusion threshold (roughly 13 M J at solar metallicity [30] [b]), the most massive planets are those with true mass closest to that cutoff; if planets and brown dwarfs are differentiated based on formation ...
What is the largest planet ever discovered? The largest exoplanet (not including brown dwarfs, which are failed stars) is ROXs 42Bb, according to AZ Animals. This planet has a radius 2.5 times ...
