An extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is a planet beyond the Solar System. As of 11 November 2006, 209 extrasolar planets have been discovered.

If the planet exists, the researchers calculate its mass at about 0.4 percent of that of the Earth, which they note means it; “Could be the lightest exoplanet to date according to the extrasolar ...

Because now, according to the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia, there are 277 confirmed "extrasolar" planets, and quite a few more on the list of those suspected but not yet confirmed.

Not until 1992 did astronomers confirm that there were planets outside our solar system, and in the 30-plus years that have followed, researchers have discovered at least 6,660 exoplanets across ...

"Data for both exoplanet infographics was gathered from three public exoplanet databases, The Extrasolar Planet Encyclopaedia, NASA Exoplanet Archive and ExoKyoto," Vargic explained. The colors of the ...

This chart shows the masses and orbital distances of all of the extrasolar planets that have been directly imaged so far. Astronomers have confirmed the masses of five (marked with stars) and ...

TOI-1452 b, lcated in the Draco constellation 100 lightyears from Earth, is believed to be an 'ocean planet.' ...

NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has detected new extrasolar planets. The two works were labeled as TOI-5152 b and TOI-5153 b. A sign displays the NASA logo outside of NASA ...

Scientists evaluated how the atomic structure of magnesium germanate changes under extremely high pressures. They discovered that the mineral adopted the structure of a compound called thorium ...

And if the planets were around the size of the moon (one-hundredth the mass of Earth), you could have 341 orbits, each containing 193 planets, which gives a total of 65,813 planets.

However, if you used smaller planets that are one-tenth the size of Earth (roughly the same mass as Mars), you could fit in 121 orbits, each containing 89 planets, which gives a total of 10,769 ...

But two Cornell University astronomers have advanced the cause with new computer models designed to help tease out signs of life from an extrasolar planet’s given color and surface reflectivity.
