Every known exoplanet,
around the Sun.

Data: The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia (exoplanet.eu), fetched 18 Oct 2026; 8,049 planets with a stored distance, around 5,433 stars. https://exoplanet.eu/catalog/. NASA Exoplanet Archive not used: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request. exoplanet.eu lists as confirmed every object it treats as a planet: bodies up to 60 Jupiter masses (within their uncertainty), published or announced. Its list is broader than the NASA Exoplanet Archive's, which keeps objects up to 30 Jupiter masses from refereed papers. The list includes 9 entries exoplanet.eu names as exocomets. 327 of its 8,376 planets have no stored distance and are not plotted.

Not plotted. The feed's stars (TIC 348835438, TIC 349088467, TIC 348770361) have no stored positions, so they are not on this map. pi Men is placed from the dataset, like every other star; pi Men c is the planet SetuHQ's run recovered.

How to read it. Positions: heliocentric galactic coordinates from RA, Dec (J2000) and distance; x points to the Galactic centre and the grid is the Galactic plane. Axis ticks are in light-years (1 pc = 3.262 ly). Colour: the detection method of the earliest planet shown for each star (Method: the first detection method the source lists for the planet.). Size: planets per star. Microlensing distances come from models of each event and are uncertain (how microlensing works). The bias in the cloud is where surveys looked and what each method can see, not where planets are. The Milky Way is an artist's impression drawn by the page, not data; the Sun's position in it is approximate.

How we classify: by radius when exoplanet.eu gives one, in Earth radii (1 RJ = 11.21 R⊕): Earth-size below 1.25, super-Earth 1.25–2, sub-Neptune 2–4, Neptune-like 4–10, gas giant 10 or more. Without a radius, by mass (or m sin i, a minimum mass) in Earth masses (1 MJ = 317.8 M⊕): Earth-size below 2, super-Earth 2–10, Neptune-like 10–50, gas giant 50 or more. With neither, the class is shown as a dash.
