The first confirmed detection was in 1992, with the discovery of several planets orbiting a pulsar. The first confirmed detection of an exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star was made in 6th October 1995, when a giant planet (51 Pegasi b) was found in a four-day orbit around the nearby G-type star 51 Pegasi.
