Every confirmed exoplanet in this catalogue, nearest first.
The closest known exoplanets to the Solar System.
Landmark worlds that shaped exoplanet science.
Source-backed planets that lie in their star's habitable zone. Lying in the zone is not proof of habitability.
Rocky-to-icy planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune.
Planets with thick atmospheres between super-Earths and Neptune in size.
Gas giants orbiting scorchingly close to their stars.
Large planets dominated by hydrogen and helium.
Small, likely rocky planets up to about 1.6 Earth radii.
Planets captured in actual images by blocking their star's glare.
Planets found by the dip in starlight as they cross their star.
Planets found by the gravitational wobble they induce in their star.
Planets revealed when their star's gravity lenses a background star.
Planets discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
Planets discovered by the TESS mission.
The seven Earth-sized worlds of the TRAPPIST-1 system.
Star systems with two or more known planets, richest first.
Exoplanets are generated from the NASA Exoplanet Archive — the authoritative catalogue of confirmed planets. Every value is real archive data; nothing is inferred or synthesised, and habitability is never asserted as a certainty. Host stars already in the Star Encyclopedia are reused, not duplicated.
