Description
Exoplanet types. Artwork of a range of types of extrasolar planets that have been discovered beyond our Solar System. These exoplanets range from very large gas giant planets (upper right), to super-Earth (centre left), Earthlike (lower left), gaseous, icy, hot, and rocky planets (lower right). As of mid-2013, some 900 alien planets have been detected, in some 700 planetary systems, with many thousands more not yet confirmed. Around 260 may be capable of supporting life.
