List of nearest exoplanets

There are 6,416 known exoplanets, or planets outside the Solar System that orbit a star, as of April 23, 2026. Only a small part of these are close to our Solar System. Within 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years), there are 106 exoplanets that scientists have confirmed. Out of more than 500 known stars and brown dwarfs in this area, about 60 have planets orbiting them. Fifty-one of these stars can be seen without a telescope, and eight of them have planetary systems.

The first exoplanet found close to us was discovered in 1998 around the star Gliese 876, which is 15.3 light-years away. The most recent discovery as of 2026 is a system around Gliese 725 B, located 11.5 light-years away. The closest known exoplanets orbit Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our Solar System, which is 4.25 light-years away. The first confirmed planet there, Proxima Centauri b, was found in 2016. Another star, HD 219134, which is 21.6 light-years away, has six known exoplanets—the most of any star within this range.

Most of the known nearby exoplanets are large and orbit very close to their stars. However, a few have masses similar to Earth, such as planets around YZ Ceti, Gliese 367, Proxima Centauri, and Barnard's Star. Some of these planets might be able to support life, with Proxima Centauri b and GJ 1002 b being among the best candidates. The International Astronomical Union has given official names to some of these worlds through the NameExoWorlds project. Named planets include those around Epsilon Eridani, Fomalhaut, Gliese 436, Gliese 486, and Gliese 367.

Exoplanets within 10 parsecs

There are over 6,000 known exoplanets, which are planets that orbit stars outside our Solar System. Most of these are far away, but some are close to us. Within a distance of 10 parsecs (which is about 32.6 light-years), there are 106 confirmed exoplanets. These planets orbit around about 60 stars that we can see in the night sky.

Excluded objects

Some stars near our Solar System have had planets suggested around them, but these haven't been proven true planets yet. For example, planets were suggested around stars like Wolf 359 and Tau Ceti, but scientists are still not sure if they really exist.

There are also some objects that look like planets but are actually too big to be called planets. These are usually called brown dwarfs. Examples include SCR 1845-6357 B and SDSS J1416+1348 B. Some other objects, called rogue planets, do not orbit any star at all, like WISE 0855−0714.
