You might be wondering, how many planets are there outside our solar system? There's reportedly more than 5,000 planets outside our solar system. This confirmation comes from NASA, where on March 21st they turned on the planetary odometer, adding 65 more planets to its Exoplanet Archive. With that addition, the number of confirmed and detectable planets beyond our solar system is just over 5,000, with 35% of the planets being categorized as Neptune-like, 31% identified as super-Earths, 30% as gas giants, and 4% as terrestrial. The Jet Propulsion Lab also shared a video to celebrate this cosmic discovery, which they achieved by using powerful telescopes located on the ground and in space. This #NASA discovery is truly out of this world!

If there's one fictional planet that you could make real, which one would it be?

Why does this need to be confirmed?!
The Universe is literally infinite and planets come from stars.

You'd be surprised to know there are even more stars in space.

The wording on this makes it seem like humanity just now realized there were planets outside the solar system...

First of all, the Universe is MASSIVE and constantly expanding. This isn't really news, just further confirmation of what we already know.
Secondly, regardless of the fact that there are many, many planets out there, we'll never be able to travel to them due to the fact that the Universe continues to expand, thus furthering the distance between us and other worlds.
Sadly, it's just not a possibility, not unless we can figure out faster-than-lightspeed travel.

Not surprising, every star has at least one planet.

if there are 100, 000, 000, 000 stars just in the Milky Way...and only 1% of those had MINIMAL a single planet....that would still be an average of over 1, 000, 000, 000 planets just in our galaxy...

....however...there are WAY MORE THAN THAT just in our galaxy...so...5000....not really a relistic number...
