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.
Host star is the brightest star with multiple known transiting Earth-size exoplanets. Another transiting planet in the system is suspected. [37] HD 101581 c: 0.0925 6.21 transit 41.7 0.740 ± 0.087 4675 ± 53 Host star is the brightest star with multiple known transiting Earth-size exoplanets. Another transiting planet in the system is ...
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2023 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2023. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information. Name Mass (M J) Radius (R J) Period (days) Semi-major axis (AU) Temp. (K) Discovery method Distance (ly) Host star mass (M ☉) Host star temp. (K ...
Five planets are going to be retrograde in the summer of 2024. Here are the dates for Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde, Neptune retrograde, Pluto retrograde and more.
Earth, the largest of our solar system's four rocky planets, has a diameter of about 7,900 miles (12,750 km). Neptune, the smallest of its four gas planets, has a diameter of about 30,600 miles ...
In search-for-life-on-other-planets news, a study published this week in the journal Nature Astronomy revealed evidence of a magnetic field on the rocky exoplanet YZ Ceti b, which orbits a star ...
Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit. It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points). A craft is deemed "active" if it is still able to ...
Planet nine may be orbiting far from the Sun, at the edge of our solar system. Astronomers, seeing odd irregularities in the orbits of the outer planets suspect another, unknown, planet may orbit ...
