Astrometry has been used to discover a handful number of exoplanets, mostly gas giants more massive than Jupiter. It is based on measuring a star's proper motion, and seeing how that position changes over time: a planet with a sufficiently large mass is able to gravitationally pull its host star, making its proper motion vary over large timescales.

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.

From the total of 5,086 stars known to have exoplanets (as of January 26, 2024), there are a total of 1,033 known multiplanetary systems, [1] or stars with at least two confirmed planets, beyond the Solar System. This list includes systems with at least three confirmed planets or two confirmed planets where additional candidates have been proposed.
The year started as rains poured on Southern California, causing massive landslides, and ended in equally dramatic fashion with wildfires ripping throughout the Southland. Genaro Molina documented ...
