Exoplanets are discovered using various methods such as transit method, radial velocity method, direct imaging, and gravitational microlensing. These methods involve observing changes in the light emitted or reflected by a star when an exoplanet passes in front of it, causes it to wobble due to gravitational pull, or distorts the light. Advanced instruments like space telescopes and ground-based observatories support these detections.

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.
What are the planets out of your solar system?
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.
Who discovered Kepler 22b?
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.
What are the planets outside of our solar system called?
Planets outside of our solar system are called exoplanets. These are planets that orbit a star other than our Sun. Exoplanets have been discovered through various methods, including transit observations and radial velocity measurements.
How many exoplanets were recently discovered?
about 403.
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.
Which is the last planet to be discovered?
As we are discovering more and more exoplanets almost weekly, there will never be a "last" planet discovered.
What is the exoplanet discovered in 2010?
There have been 95 exoplanets discovered in 2010. You'll need to be more specific on the question.
Can exoplanets be observed with telescopes and satellites?
I believe some of them can, but mostly, the exoplanets are discovered and observed with more indirect methods - especially by analyzing the gravitational effects on the star.
What are the 437 planets discovered?

What is the name of an extra solar planetary body that has been discovered?
A few thousand exoplanets have been discovered so far; according to the Wikipedia article on "Exoplanet": "As of 1 March 2017, a total of 3,586 confirmed exoplanets are listed in the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia".The Wikipedia article "List of exoplanets" has a list of such exoplanets.
How many new exoplanets were found by European Astronomers?

Other European efforts, like the European Southern Observatory's HARPS instrument, have also contributed significantly to the discovery of exoplanets.
Why are the new planets called Kepler?
The new planets are named after the Kepler Space Telescope, which was a NASA mission that searched for exoplanets using the transit method. The telescope discovered thousands of exoplanets during its mission.
Are there any other planets except the ones in our solar system?
Yes, there are thousands of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) that have been discovered so far. These exoplanets vary in size, composition, and distance from their host stars. Scientists continue to search for more exoplanets using telescopes and other observational techniques.
The extrasolar planets discovered so far most resemble?
The extrasolar planets discovered so far most resemble those in our own solar system, including rocky planets, ice giants, and gas giants. However, there is a wide variety of exoplanets with unique characteristics that differ from those we find in our solar system.
Is their anything past the Kuiper Belt that anyone discovered?
yes, there are many things outside the kuiper belt that we have discovered. all of the stars you see at night are outside of the kuiper belt. we have discovered galexies, exoplanets, and many other things.
