An extragalactic planet, also known as an extragalactic exoplanet or an extroplanet, [1] [2] [3] is a star-bound planet or rogue planet located outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Due to the immense distances to such worlds, they would be very hard to detect directly. However, indirect evidences suggest that such planets exist.
Motion interpolation of seven images of the HR 8799 system taken from the W. M. Keck Observatory over seven years, featuring four exoplanets. This is a list of extrasolar planets that have been directly observed, sorted by observed separations. This method works best for young planets that emit infrared light and are far from the glare of the star.
Title Planet Star Data Notes Most massive The most massive planet is difficult to define due to the blurry line between planets and brown dwarfs.If the borderline is defined as the deuterium fusion threshold (roughly 13 M J at solar metallicity [29] [b]), the most massive planets are those with true mass closest to that cutoff; if planets and brown dwarfs are differentiated based on formation ...
The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with 8 confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with 7 planets. The 1,033 multiplanetary systems are listed below according to the star's distance from Earth. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, has three planets (b, c and d).
Recent observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope strengthened the case for the planet having an unusual orbit that perturbed it from its host star's debris disk causing NASA and several news outlets to compare to the hypothetical Planet Nine.

A majority are significantly larger than Earth, but a few have similar masses, including planets around YZ Ceti, Gliese 367, Proxima Centauri, and Barnard's Star which may be less massive than Earth. Several confirmed exoplanets are hypothesized to be potentially habitable , with Proxima Centauri b and GJ 1002 b (15.8 ly) considered among the ...
By RYAN GORMAN Scientists may have found Planet X -- the long-rumored object believed to be larger than Earth and further from the sun than Pluto. Planet X and another object dubbed "Planet Y ...
