Not directly. Exoplanets are generally too small and dim to be seen directly, at interstellar distances, especially since they are hidden by the glare of their parent star. Only a handful of planets have been imaged directly, and most of those were detected using infrared rather than visible light.
What else can I help you with?
What exoplanets are in our solar system?
There are no exoplanets in our solar system. By definition, an exoplanet is a planet that is not in our solar system.
Does Procyon have exoplanets?
As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of exoplanets orbiting Procyon. However, it is possible that there may be undetected exoplanets around this star waiting to be discovered through further observations.
How many new exoplanets were found by European Astronomers?
European astronomers have discovered thousands of new exoplanets. The European Space Agency's Cheops mission, for example, has discovered over 50 confirmed exoplanets so far. Other European efforts, like the European Southern Observatory's HARPS instrument, have also contributed significantly to the discovery of exoplanets.
How many exoplanets do we know of?
Now we know of 861 exoplanets, with several thousand awaiting confirmation
How are exoplanets currently being detected?
Exoplanets are currently being detected using various methods, including the transit method (detecting the decrease in a star's brightness as a planet passes in front of it), the radial velocity method (measuring the wobble of a star due to the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet), and the direct imaging method (taking pictures of exoplanets themselves). Other techniques like microlensing and astrometry are also used to detect exoplanets.
What are the 437 planets discovered?
See related link for a full list of the all "known" exoplanets
Can you see planets outside of your solar system?
Yes, with sensitive instrumentation, almost two thousand planets outside the solar system (exoplanets) have been discovered - and even the first ones in another galaxy. (Note, the human eye cannot see exoplanets unassisted).
What exoplanets are in our solar system?
There are no exoplanets in our solar system. By definition, an exoplanet is a planet that is not in our solar system.
Does Procyon have exoplanets?

What do you call the planets and stars?
exoplanets
What are the 3 exoplanets?
"The 3" is just plain wrong; much more than 3 exoplanets have been found so far.
How many exoplanets were recently discovered?
about 403.

What are some recommended books on exoplanets for someone interested in learning more about these distant worlds?
Some recommended books on exoplanets for those interested in learning more about these distant worlds include "Exoplanets: Diamond Worlds, Super Earths, Pulsar Planets, and the New Search for Life Beyond Our Solar System" by Michael Summers and James Trefil, "Exoplanets: Hidden Worlds and the Quest for Extraterrestrial Life" by Donald Goldsmith, and "The Planet Factory: Exoplanets and the Search for a Second Earth" by Elizabeth Tasker.
What are the majority of exoplanets made of?
The majority of exoplanets are believed to be made of rock, metal, and/or ice. These materials are similar to the composition of planets in our own solar system. Some exoplanets may also have atmospheres composed of gases such as hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
