This list of exoplanets discovered in 2021 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first observed in 2021. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity , the listed value for mass is a lower limit.
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2025 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2025. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information.
On February 26, 2014, NASA announced the discovery of 715 newly verified exoplanets around 305 stars by the Kepler Space Telescope. 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 ...
Neptune, the smallest of its four gas planets, has a diameter of about 30,600 miles (49,250 km), roughly four times that of Earth. The newly discovered sub-Neptunes range from 1.9 to 2.9 times ...
This is a list of all spacecraft landings on other planets and bodies in the Solar System, including soft landings and both intended and unintended hard impacts. The list includes orbiters that were intentionally crashed, but not orbiters which later crashed in an unplanned manner due to orbital decay. Colour key:
This method works best for young planets that emit infrared light and are far from the glare of the star. Currently, this list includes both directly imaged planets and imaged planetary-mass companions (objects that orbit a star but formed through a binary-star-formation process, not a planet-formation process).
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2022 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2022. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information. On 31 March 2022, K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb was reported to be the most distant exoplanet found by Kepler to ...
When the astronauts stranded at the International Space Station were pictured wearing Santa hats next to a tiny Christmas tree this week, internet commenters had questions.. Butch Wilmore and Suni ...
