Only pulsar with a multiplanetary system, and first exoplanets and multiplanetary system to be confirmed. [121] [122] Star with dimmest apparent magnitude to have a multiplanetary system. Kepler-62: Lyra: 18 h 52 m 51.060 s +45° 20′ 59.507″ 13.75 [123] 990: K2V [123] 0.69: 4925: 7: 5: Planets e and f orbit in the habitable zone. [123] [124 ...
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.
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 14 February 2025, there are 5,834 confirmed exoplanets in 4,356 planetary systems, with 977 systems having more than one planet. [1]
K2-3d, also known as EPIC 201367065 d, is a confirmed exoplanet of probable mini-Neptune type orbiting the red dwarf star K2-3, and the outermost of three such planets discovered in the system. It is located 143 light-years (44 parsecs ) away from Earth in the constellation of Leo .
This list contain only confirmed planets. Many candidate planets were decected via astrometry, including Gliese 65 Ab (which would be the nearest planet detected by this method, if confirmed), 9,698 candidates shown in a paper [1] as well as many more detected via Hipparcos-Gaia astrometry in another studies.

Kepler-9 holds the first multiplanetary system discovered using the transit method. It is also the first planetary system where transiting planets were confirmed through transit timing variations method, allowing to calculate the masses of planets. [10] The discovery of the planets was announced on August 26, 2010. [9]
This is a list of confirmed exoplanets within the circumstellar habitable zone that are either under 10 Earth masses or smaller than 2.5 Earth radii, and thus have a chance of being rocky. [3] [1] Note that inclusion on this list does not guarantee habitability, and in particular the larger planets are more unlikely to have a rocky composition. [4]
Given this age, the planetary system most likely formed near the end of the Miocene epoch of the Earth's history. Observations made on the planet confirmed that it was a fully formed exoplanet, not just a protoplanet that was still in the stages of developing. The mass and radius of the exoplanet further help constrain this statement.
