Animation showing exoplanets by year from 1991 until 2022 (March) with a total of 5005 discoveries [1] An exoplanet (extrasolar planet) is a planet located outside the Solar System. 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]
There are eight planets within the Solar System; planets outside of the solar system are also known as exoplanets. Artist's concept of the potentially habitable exoplanet Kepler-186f As of 27 February 2025, there are 5,839 confirmed exoplanets in 4,359 planetary systems , with 979 systems having more than one planet .
