Eksoplaneet

’n Eksoplaneet of ekstrasolêre planeet is ’n planeet buite die Sonnestelsel. Tot en met 1 Maart 2013 was altesaam 861 sulke planete geïdentifiseer (planete in 677 planetêre stelsels, insluitende 128 stelsels met meer as een planeet). Teen 1 Desember 2024 was daar 7 355 bevestigde eksoplanete in 5 046 planeetstelsels, met 1 022 stelsels wat meer as een planeet het.^[2] Daar is dus ’n voortdurende stroom nuwe ontdekkings.

Wat meer sê, die Keplersending het reeds ’n paar duisend bykomende kandidate opgespoor, insluitende ’n paar honderd wat lewe sou kon huisves.^[3]^[4]
