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.
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2021 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first observed in 2021. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information.

Scientists have found a new Earth-like planet that could support alien life – just 40 light-years away. The planet is a remarkable discovery in the search for habitable worlds: it is slightly ...
This list contain only confirmed planets. Many candidate planets were decected via astrometry, including Gliese 65 Ab (which would be the nearest planet detected by this method, if confirmed), 9,698 candidates shown in a paper [1] as well as many more detected via Hipparcos-Gaia astrometry in another studies.

The planet is about the size of Venus, so slightly smaller than Earth, and may be temperate enough to support life, the researchers said. Dubbed Gliese 12 b, the planet takes 12.8 days to orbit a ...
Planet Taphao Thong was discovered in 1996 and was one of the first exoplanets to be discovered. [48] The planet was the first long-period extrasolar planet discovered. The other planets were discovered later. [49] Nu 2 Lupi: Lupus: 15 h 21 m 49.57 s: −48° 19′ 01.1″ 5.65: 47: G2V: 0.906: 5664: 10.36: 3: One of the oldest stars in the ...
The planet is located some 1,200 light-years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. It's the second-lightest exoplanet found so far based on its dimensions and mass, according to the researchers.
