StarStarStarStar

Kepler-10b

StarStarStarStar

Roasting rocky planet, it has a dayside of molten rock.

StarStarStarStar

HD 100546 b

StarStarStarStar

This planet is in the process of forming, providing a unique look at planet formation.

StarStarStarStar

TrES-2b

StarStarStarStar

Known as the darkest exoplanet, absorbing more than 99% of all light that hits it, making it blacker than coal.

StarStarStarStar

HD 209458b

StarStarStarStar

Also known as 'Osiris', is known for having its atmosphere escaping into space.

StarStarStarStar

WASP-12b

StarStarStarStar

Known for its elongated shape due to the strong gravitational forces from its close proximity to its star.

StarStarStarStar

WASP-17b

StarStarStarStar

Widely known for its retrograde orbit, meaning it orbits in the opposite direction to its star's rotation.

StarStarStarStar

OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb

StarStarStarStar

Possibly one of the coldest and least massive exoplanets directly imaged; it's as cold as Pluto.

StarStarStarStar

Kepler-78b

StarStarStarStar

It is a planet that orbits its star every 8.5 hours, with temperatures high enough to melt iron.

StarStarStarStar

J1407b

StarStarStarStar

Exoplanet with enormous ring system, 200 times the size of Saturn's rings.

StarStarStarStar

CoRoT-7b

StarStarStarStar

One of the first rocky exoplanets to have its surface temperature measured, reaching up to 2,000°C.

StarStarStarStar

LHS 1140 b

StarStarStarStar

A rocky super-Earth transiting in the habitable zone of its star, has potential to hold liquid water.

StarStarStarStar

GJ 1214b

StarStarStarStar

A waterworld with a thick, steamy atmosphere and could have an ocean of hot ice.

StarStarStarStar

KELT-9b

StarStarStarStar

Ultra-hot Jupiter with temperatures that exceed those of some stars.

StarStarStarStar

Kepler-7b

StarStarStarStar

Exoplanet known for its extremely low density, it's lighter than a cork in water.

StarStarStarStar

WASP-19b

StarStarStarStar

A very low orbit planet, taking less than one Earth day to orbit its star, leading to severe heating.

StarStarStarStar

PSR B1257+12 b

StarStarStarStar

Orbits a pulsar, and is subject to intense radiation fields.

StarStarStarStar

WASP-76b

StarStarStarStar

A planet where it rains molten iron on one side while the other side remains perpetually cool.
