Open Exoplanet Catalogue
The Open Exoplanet Catalogue is a catalogue of all discovered extra-solar planets. It is a new kind of astronomical database decentralized and completely open. It is considered one of the four exoplanet catalogues most widely used, together with the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, the NASA Exoplanet Archive, and the Exoplanet Data Explorer The Exoplanet Data Explorer / Exoplanet Orbit Database is a database listing extrasolar planets up to 24 Jupiter masses.

Exoplanet Discovery Methods Bar
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. The first confirmed detection of an exoplanet was in 1992 around a pulsar, and the first detection around a main-sequence star was in 1995. A different planet, first detected in 1988, was confirmed in 2003. In 2016, it was recognized that the first possible evidence of an exoplanet had been noted in 1917. In collaboration with ground-based and other space-based observatories the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to give more insight into exoplanet traits, such as their composition, environmental conditions, and potential for life. There are many methods of detecting exoplanets. Transit photometry and Doppler spectroscopy have found the most, but these methods suffer from a clear observational bias favoring the detection of planets near the star; thus, 85% of the exoplanets detected are inside the tidal locking zone. In several cases, multiple planets have been observed around a star. About 1 ...
