Every exoplanet found so far

All 6,000-plus confirmed planets beyond the Sun on one turning field — placed by the length of their year, moving at true relative speed, coloured by how they were discovered. The empty middle is real: our methods still miss most small, slow worlds.

Data & source

Source: NASA Exoplanet Archive (Planetary Systems, default parameters), fetched —. Distance from the star = orbital period; dot size = planet radius; motion speed = true relative orbital period. Starting angles are illustrative — the archive has no live ephemerides, so a dot's position is not where the planet is tonight, only how fast it circles. — planets have no measured period and are not drawn.
