Now we know of 861 exoplanets, with several thousand awaiting confirmation
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.
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.
We know now that planets are a fairly common occurrence in the universe. This discovery provides many potential opportunities for life to exist beyond Earth.
There are no exoplanets in our solar system. By definition, an exoplanet is a planet that is not in our solar system.
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.

exoplanets
"The 3" is just plain wrong; much more than 3 exoplanets have been found so far.
Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered orbiting other stars in the Milky Way galaxy. They come in a variety of sizes and compositions, and many are quite different from the planets in our own solar system.
There are many planets that orbit stars other than the Sun. These are known as exoplanets and have been discovered in many different star systems throughout the galaxy. Some stars have multiple planets orbiting them, similar to our own solar system.
We hardly know yet. Planets other than those in our own solar system (called "extrasolar" planets or "exoplanets") have only been discovered in the last ten years or so. About a thousand are known, but astronomers feel there must be many, many more.
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.
