Exoplanets have been discovered using several different methods for collecting or combining direct images to isolate planets from the background light of their star. Non-Redundant Aperture Masking Interferometry is a method of combining the views of multiple telescopes into a single image, while the other methods are algorithms for combining ...
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the ... Coronagraphic image of AB Pictoris showing a ... magnifying the light of a distant background star ...
All data in the Exoplanet Archive are vetted by a team of astronomers and the original literature references are available. The Exoplanet Archive supports interactive visualization of images, spectra, and time series data and maintains its own stellar cross-identification to minimize ambiguity in multiple star components.
The exoplanet was first discovered in 2017, but the Webb Telescope was able to capture the clearest images of the exoplanet to date.
Scientists say they are rethinking how the weather works after creating a 3D map of an exoplanet 900 light-years away and discovering a world with jet streams fueling wild storms.
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.
In 2020, NASA physicist Slava Turyshev presented his idea of direct multi-pixel imaging and spectroscopy of an exoplanet with a solar gravitational lens mission. The lens could reconstruct the exoplanet image with ~25 km-scale surface resolution in 6 months of integration time, enough to see surface features and signs of habitability. [2]
Epsilon Indi Ab is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting the star Epsilon Indi A, about 11.9 light-years away in the constellation of Indus. The planet was confirmed to exist in 2018. [ 1 ] It orbits at around 30 AU (almost as far as Neptune from the Sun) with a period of around 180 years and a relatively high eccentricity of 0.4, and has a mass ...
