List of nearest exoplanets information

There are 5,662 known exoplanets, or planets outside the Solar System that orbit a star, as of May 1, 2024; only a small fraction of these are located in the vicinity of the Solar System.^[3] Within 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years), there are 104 exoplanets listed as confirmed by the NASA Exoplanet Archive.^{[note 1]}^[4] Among the over 500 known stars and brown dwarfs within 10 parsecs,^[5]^{[note 2]} around 60 have been confirmed to have planetary systems; 51 stars in this range are visible to the naked eye,^{[note 3]}^[7] eight of which have planetary systems.

The first report of an exoplanet within this range was in 1998 for a planet orbiting around Gliese 876 (15.3 light-years (ly) away), and the latest as of 2023 are two around Gliese 367 (30.7 ly). The closest exoplanets are those found orbiting the star closest to the Solar System, which is Proxima Centauri 4.25 light-years away. The first confirmed exoplanet discovered in the Proxima Centauri system was Proxima Centauri b, in 2016. HD 219134 (21.6 ly) has six exoplanets, the highest number discovered for any star within this range.

Most known nearby exoplanets orbit close to their stars. A majority are significantly larger than Earth, but a few have similar masses, including planets around YZ Ceti, Gliese 367, and Proxima Centauri which may be less massive than Earth. Several confirmed exoplanets are hypothesized to be potentially habitable, with Proxima Centauri b and GJ 1002 b (15.8 ly) considered among the most likely candidates.^[8] The International Astronomical Union has assigned proper names to some known extrasolar bodies, including nearby exoplanets, through the NameExoWorlds project. Planets named in the 2015 event include the planets around Epsilon Eridani (10.5 ly) and Fomalhaut,^{[note 4]}^[11] while planets named in the 2022 event include those around Gliese 436, Gliese 486, and Gliese 367.^[12]
