This article highlights some of the notable exoplanet findings as of April 2026.\n- 1. **TOI-2180**: In 2023, astronomers discovered a potentially habitable exoplanet, TOI-2180 b, orbiting a small, cool star (TOI-2180) about 153 light-years from Earth. This world has a mass similar to that of Neptune and orbits within the star's habitable zone, making it a prime target for future studies.

This world has a mass about 1.2 times that of Earth and orbits within the star's habitable zone.

This gas giant has a mass about 0.95 times that of Jupiter and orbits extremely close to its star.

This gas giant has a mass about 2.5 times that of Jupiter and orbits within the star's habitable zone.
