Ein Exoplanet (präziser extrasolarer Planet) ist ein planetarer Himmelskörper außerhalb (griechisch ἔξω) des vorherrschenden gravitativen Einflusses der Sonne, aber innerhalb des gravitativen Einflusses eines anderen Sterns oder Braunen Zwergs.Extrasolare Planeten gehören also nicht dem Sonnensystem, sondern anderen Planetensystemen an.

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. The first possible evidence of an exoplanet was noted in 1917 but was not recognized as such. The first confirmation of detection occurred in 1992. A different planet, initially detected in 1988, was confirmed in 2003.

HD 100546 b is the largest exoplanet in the NASA Exoplanet Archive, at 6.9 +2.7 −2.9 R J, although because of flux from the planet and the disk that are superimposed, the exact size of this planet cannot be determined and the emitting area has this size, composed of the planet and including its disk, not to be mistaken as a single planet ...

Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS, Explorer 95 or MIDEX-7) is a space telescope for NASA's Explorer program, designed to search for exoplanets using the transit method in an area 400 times larger than that covered by the Kepler mission. It was launched on 18 April 2018, atop a Falcon 9 launch vehicle and was placed into a highly elliptical 13.70-day orbit around the Earth.

Kapteyn b is an exoplanet that orbits within the habitable zone of the red subdwarf Kapteyn's Star, located approximately 12.8 light-years (3.92 parsecs) from Earth.Kapteyn b is within the estimated habitable zone of its star. It was the closest-suspected potentially habitable exoplanet to the Solar System other than Tau Ceti e up until 2016, when Proxima Centauri b at 4.22 light …

HIP 65426 b is a super Jupiter exoplanet orbiting the star HIP 65426. It was discovered on 6 July 2017 by the SPHERE consortium using the Spectro-Polarimetric High-Contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) instrument belonging to the European Southern Observatory (ESO). It is 385 light-years from Earth. It is the first planet discovered by ESO's SPHERE instrument.

51 Pegasi b, officially named Dimidium / d ɪ ˈ m ɪ d i ə m /, and formerly unofficially dubbed Bellerophon / b ɛ ˈ l ɛr ə f ɒ n /, is an extrasolar planet approximately 50 light-years (15 parsecs) away in the constellation of Pegasus.It was the first exoplanet to be discovered orbiting a main-sequence star, the Sun-like 51 Pegasi, and marked a breakthrough in astronomical research.

Gliese 667 Cc (also known as GJ 667Cc, HR 6426Cc, or HD 156384Cc) is an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the red dwarf star Gliese 667 C, which is a member of the Gliese 667 triple star system, approximately 23.62 light-years (7.24 parsecs; 223.5 trillion kilometres) away in the constellation of Scorpius.The exoplanet was found by using the radial velocity method, …

The first confirmed terrestrial exoplanet, Kepler-10b, was found in 2011 by the Kepler Mission, specifically designed to discover Earth-size planets around other stars using the transit method.. In the same year, the Kepler Space Observatory Mission team released a list of 1235 extrasolar planet candidates, including six that are "Earth-size" or "super-Earth-size" (i.e. they have a …

This list of nearest terrestrial exoplanet candidates contains possible terrestrial ("rocky") exoplanets spaced at a distance of up to 50 light-years from the Solar System, ordered by increasing distance.. They may be composed primarily of silicate rocks and/or metals.Within the Solar System, the terrestrial planets are the inner planets closest to the Sun
