The Hubble and Keppler space telescopes are detecting exoplanets
Yes, Sirius is a binary star system composed of two stars, Sirius A and Sirius B. As of now, there have been no confirmed exoplanets detected in orbit around either star.
Most exosolar planets, or exoplanets, that have been detected are typically gas giants, similar in size to Jupiter or larger. The majority of these planets fall within the category known as "hot Jupiters," which are large, close-orbiting gas giants. However, a growing number of smaller terrestrial planets, comparable to Earth, have also been discovered, especially with advancements in detection methods. Overall, the size distribution of detected exoplanets shows a significant prevalence of larger planets, but smaller, rocky planets are increasingly being identified.
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.
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.
There are no exoplanets in our solar system. By definition, an exoplanet is a planet that is not in our solar system.
Astronomers believe that planets orbiting other stars, known as exoplanets, are common in the universe. They have been detected using various methods such as the transit method and radial velocity method. The discovery of exoplanets has greatly expanded our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own.

Yes. They are called "exoplanets" and they orbit other stars. They have only been detected recently.
Well, currently they enjoy hanging around in museums, and underground..... Well, currently they enjoy hanging around in museums, and underground.....

The current planets being discovered are called "Exoplanets" or "Extrasolar Planets" which means they are planets found outside of our solar system. New ones are constantly being discovered. We are currently getting closer to discovering one within the habitable zone of another star.

There is currently no confirmed sister planet to Earth. However, astronomers have discovered many exoplanets in other solar systems that share similar characteristics with Earth, such as being rocky and located in the habitable zone of their star.

Kepler 22b was not discovered by an individual, but by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in December 2011. The telescope detected the planet as part of the Kepler mission's search for exoplanets within the habitable zone of their stars.
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.
