40 times the size of our Sun
HD 36384 b was discovered using the radial velocity method, which measures the 'wobble' of far-off stars that is caused by the gravitational tug of orbiting planets. It Orbits a star so large that it clocks in at nearly 40 times the size of our Sun. (Photo: Nasa)
78 light years away from the Sun
Exoplanet TOI 198 b orbits star TOI 198 that lies 78 light years away from the Sun. It has about 250px of Earth's radius and orbits its star closer than Earth orbits Sun. (Photo: Nasa)
First clear evidence for carbon dioxide in a planet
WASP-39b's atmospheric transmission spectrum captured by Webb's Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) reveals first clear evidence for carbon dioxide in a planet outside the Solar System. (Photo: Nasa)
Large and hot super-Earths
TOI-2095 b and TOI-2095 are both large, hot super-Earths that orbit in the same system around a shared star. They are so close to their star that they are more similar to Venus than Earth. (Photo: Nasa)
Saturn like protoplanet
MWC 758 c is a giant protoplanet that orbits a very young star. This star still has its protoplanetary disk, which is a rotating disc of gas and dust that can surround a young star. (Photo: Nasa)
'Hot Jupiter'
TOI-4860 b is a Jupiter-sized gas giant, or a 'hot Jupiter,' that orbits an M dwarf star. It is extremely rare for giant planets to orbit so closely to sun-like stars, and even rarer for them to orbit M-dwarf stars. (Photo: Nasa)
