Artist's concept of the potentially habitable exoplanet, Kepler-186f.
This is a list of exoplanets. (As of October 2018) there are 3,798 confirmed exoplanets.[1] The majority of these planets were discovered by the Kepler spacecraft. In addition to the confirmed exoplanets, there are 2,426 potential exoplanets from its first mission that are yet to be confirmed, and 491 from its "Second Light" mission.[2]
For yearly lists on physical, orbital and other properties, as well as on discovery circumstances and other aspects, see § Specific exoplanet lists
