The following list includes some of the potentially habitable exoplanets discovered so far. It is mostly based on estimates of habitability by the Habitable Worlds Catalog (HWC), and data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive. The HWC is maintained by the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo. [1]
This list is incomplete, currently containing 34 exoplanets, 11 of which probably lie inside their star's habitable zone. There are roughly 2,000 stars at a distance of up to 50 light-years from the Solar System [4] (64 of them are yellow-orange "G" stars like the Sun [5]). As many as 15% of them could have Earth-sized planets in the habitable ...
This is a list of unconfirmed exoplanets discovered or detected by the NASA Kepler mission (Kepler Candidates from the NASA Exoplanet Archive) that are potentially habitable. [1] [2] Those already confirmed are listed by their Kepler names in the list of potentially habitable exoplanets, and the data may differ when the planets are confirmed ...
A potentially habitable exoplanet that is roughly similar in size to Earth has been found in a system located 40 light-years away, according to a new study.
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 size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water.

The exoplanet lies 120 light-years away from Earth. Planet in ‘habitable’ zone could have rare oceans and a possible sign of life, Webb data reveals Skip to main content
The telescope has been hard at work scanning the universe for habitable planetary bodies -- and it just turned up something huge. NASA's Kepler spots over 100 new exoplanets, some in the habitable ...
