Exoplanet Discoveries
02.26.14 - The histogram shows the number of planet
discoveries by year for roughly the past two decades of the exoplanet search.
The blue bar shows previous planet discoveries, the red bar shows previous
Kepler planet discoveries, the gold bar displays the 715 new planets verified by
multiplicity.

The histogram shows the number of planets by size
for all known exoplanets. The blue bars on the histogram represents all the
exoplanets known, by size, before the Kepler Planet Bonanza announcement on Feb.
26, 2014. The gold bars on the histogram represent Kepler's newly-verified
planets.
