List of nearest exoplanets

There are 6,256 known exoplanets, or planets outside the Solar System, as of February 26, 2026. Only a few of these are close to our Solar System.

Within 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years), there are 106 confirmed exoplanets. These planets orbit stars that are among the closest to us.

Epsilon Indi Ab, 12 light-years away, with its parent star Epsilon Indi A blacked out, as pictured by JWST in 2023.

The first exoplanet found in this nearby range was discovered in 1998 around the star Gliese 876, which is 15.3 light-years away. The closest known exoplanets orbit Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our Solar System, which is only 4.25 light-years away. The first confirmed planet there, Proxima Centauri b, was found in 2016.

Many of these nearby exoplanets are much larger than Earth and orbit very close to their stars. However, a few have masses similar to Earth, such as those around YZ Ceti, Gliese 367, Proxima Centauri, and Barnard's Star. The International Astronomical Union has given official names to some of these planets through the NameExoWorlds project, including those around Epsilon Eridani, Fomalhaut, Gliese 436, Gliese 486, and Gliese 367.

Exoplanets within 10 parsecs

There are 106 known exoplanets within 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years) of our Solar System, as confirmed by the NASA Exoplanet Archive. These exoplanets orbit around over 500 nearby stars and brown dwarfs. Approximately 60 of these stars have planetary systems, and 51 of them can be seen with the naked eye, with eight having known planets.

Excluded objects

Unlike planets in our Solar System, there is no single way to prove an exoplanet exists. The International Astronomical Union says an exoplanet is confirmed if scientists agree it exists after five years of study. Some exoplanets are still being checked by scientists. Examples include Wolf 359, Tau Ceti, Gliese 682, and HD 102365 A.

Some possible planets turned out not to be real after more studies. These include possible planets around stars like Alpha Centauri B, Kapteyn's Star, and Van Maanen 2. There are also planets that have not yet been confirmed around stars such as LHS 288, Vega, and Alpha Centauri A. Scientists keep studying these to learn more.
