Discovered by: MEarth Project, Characteristics: Waterworld or mini-Neptune, much larger than Earth, Potential for habitability: Low, due to thick atmosphere and high temperatures.

Discovered by: HARPS survey at La Silla Observatory, Characteristics: Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of a quiet red dwarf star, Potential for habitability: Good, less flare activity improves chances.

Discovered by: Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, Characteristics: First hot Jupiter discovered, orbits closer to its star than Mercury does to the Sun, Potential for habitability: Extremely low, due to high temperatures.

Discovered by: K2 mission (Kepler's second light), Characteristics: Super-Earth, potential water vapor in atmosphere, Potential for habitability: Possible if atmospheric pressure can support liquid water surface conditions.

Discovered by: Charbonneau et al., Henry et al., Characteristics: First exoplanet found to transit its parent star, has a tail like a comet, Potential for habitability: None, due to intense heat.

Discovered by: Anglada-Escudé et al., Characteristics: Earth-sized exoplanet in the habitable zone, Potential for habitability: Possible, depending on atmospheric characteristics.

Discovered by: MEarth-South telescope array, Characteristics: Rocky super-Earth transiting a small, faint star, Potential for habitability: Possible, it's in the middle of the habitable zone.

Discovered by: Using precision radial velocity measurements, Characteristics: Potentially a super-Earth in the habitable zone, Possible for habitability: Good chance, but close to the inner edge of the habitable zone.

Discovered by: Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP), Characteristics: Hot Jupiter with one of the lowest densities known, Potential for habitability: Extremely low, it's being consumed by its star.

Discovered by: European Southern Observatory (ESO), Characteristics: Super-Earth in the habitable zone, potentially a water world, Potential for habitability: High if atmospheric conditions are suitable.

Discovered by: Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST), Characteristics: Roughly the size and density of Earth, within the habitable zone, Potential for habitability: High likelihood of retaining an atmosphere.

Discovered by: Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), Characteristics: Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of a cool red dwarf, Potential for habitability: It's one of the few Earth-sized exoplanets in the habitable zone discovered by TESS so far.

Discovered by: Direct imaging method, Characteristics: Giant gas planet with a relatively short orbital period for its separation, Potential for habitability: None, but it's critical for our understanding of planetary formation.

Discovered by: Kepler mission, Characteristics: Earth-sized exoplanet, sometimes called 'Earth's cousin', Potential for habitability: Good, orbits within its star's habitable zone.
