Exo Planets

Planets that orbit other stars

I highly recommend downloading NASA's JPL Eyes on Exoplanets App

Kepler spacecraft was the first to especially search for exoplanets, Kepler pointed a one small area and found 1000s of Exoplanets using the transit method of the dip in the light from its star as the exoplanet passed by.

TESS is an exciting new spacecraft that will scan 82% of the nearby stars, launch 18 April 2018.

Proxima Centauri 4.22 light-years away.

Proxima B and also potentially there may be Proxima C

Ross 128 b 11 light-years away

Tau Ceti e 11.9lys

Tau Ceti f
