HD 209458 b is an exoplanet that orbits the solar analog HD 209458 in the constellation Pegasus, some 157 light-years (48 parsecs) from the Solar System.The radius of the planet's orbit is 0.047 AU (7.0 million km; 4.4 million mi), or one-eighth the radius of Mercury's orbit (0.39 AU (36 million mi; 58 million km)).
PSR B1257+12 C, alternatively designated PSR B1257+12 d and also named Phobetor, is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting the pulsar Lich approximately 2,315 light-years (710 parsecs; 22 quadrillion kilometres) away from Earth in the constellation of Virgo.
[3] [4] Only two years later, the longest period of a transiting planet was more than tripled by EPIC 248847494 b, which takes 3650 days to orbit its star. The shortest period is K2-137b, which takes just 0.18 days to orbit its star. There are 60 members of multi-planet systems. Yellow rows denote members of a multi-planet system

[99] Radial velocity measurements discovered an additional signal, which could be a fourth planet or a stellar companion. [100] HD 28109: Hydrus: 04 h 20 m 57.13 s ...
Six planets will align again on Aug. 28, Jan. 18., 2025 and Aug. 29, 2025. Seven planets will align on Feb. 28, 2025. USA TODAY's Janet Loehrke contributed to this story.
The exoplanet, named TIC 241249530 b, orbits a star about 1,100 light-years from Earth. The star is one of a binary pair, so the planet orbits the primary star, while the primary star orbits a ...
The best day to spot five planets, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Mars, lined up in the night sky is Tuesday, March 28, 2023, right after sunset. The five-planet array will be visible from ...
The planet orbits a faint 15th-magnitude star named KIC 8639908, which is located at right ascension 19 h 00 m 03.14 s and declination 40° 13′ 14.7″ , [1] in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is currently in the main sequence [ 10 ] with a spectral type of K5, [ 11 ] a mass of 0.546 M ☉ , and a radius of 0.540 R ☉ . [ 5 ]
