First evidence for exoplanet to receive later confirmation. First exoplanets to be confirmed PSR B1257+12 B PSR B1257+12 C: PSR B1257+12: 1992 First super-Earths. [1] These exoplanets orbit a pulsar. First confirmed exoplanet around normal star 51 Pegasi b: 51 Pegasi: 1995 First convincing exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star. [2]
The ECWG's rules for naming exoplanets are identical to those adopted by the Minor Planet Center for minor planets. [2] Names are a single word consisting of sixteen characters or less, pronounceable in some language, non-offensive, and not identical to existing proper names of astronomical objects. [3]

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.
These are lists of planets.A planet is a large, rounded astronomical body that is neither a star nor its remnant. The best available theory of planet formation is the nebular hypothesis, which posits that an interstellar cloud collapses out of a nebula to create a young protostar orbited by a protoplanetary disk.
