First evidence for exoplanet to receive later confirmation. First exoplanets to be confirmed PSR B1257+12 B PSR B1257+12 C: PSR B1257+12: 1992 First super-Earths. [1] These exoplanets orbit a pulsar. First confirmed exoplanet around normal star 51 Pegasi b: 51 Pegasi: 1995 First convincing exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star. [2]
The first evidence of an exoplanet was noted as early as 1917, but was not recognized as such until 2016; no planet discovery has yet come from that evidence. [2] What turned out to be the first detection of an exoplanet was published among a list of possible candidates in 1988, though not confirmed until 2003.
HD 114762 b was once considered as the first discovered exoplanet. Found in 1989 by a team led by David Latham, it is now known to be a red dwarf star. [5] In 1991 it was reported an exoplanet 10 times the mass of Earth was discovered around the pulsar, PSR B1829-10. [6]

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.
