The first confirmed exoplanets were discovered in 1992 orbiting a pulsar—a radio-wave-emitting, rapidly rotating neutron star formed from the aftermath of a massive star turned supernova.

Considered a solitary star for its lack of stellar companions, Barnard's Star is notoriously lonely—signs of any exoplanets ...

The recent findings up the number of exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star from one to at least three, possibly four, as researchers were able to use the MAROON-X instrument on the Gemini North telescope ...

However, the first exoplanet, and five more that followed in the first half of 1996, qualified only as distant cousins. Because the technique that revealed them could find only massive planets ...
