Normally, the Webb telescope only detects exoplanets by glimpsing them when they cross in front of their host star. This "transiting method" was how Webb indirectly detected CO2 in the atmosphere ...

Some exoplanets have a density that implies a substantial fraction, perhaps up to a quarter of their mass, is made from water.

Most of the exoplanets known today are located close to their star. This means they primarily comprise hot worlds of oceans of molten magma that have not yet cooled to form a solid mantle of ...

This is a gallery of exoplanets with retrograde orbits. Exoplanets, discovered by WASP together with ESO telescopes, that unexpectedly have been found to have retrograde orbits, are shown in this ...

With that in mind, the actual number of naked-eye stars hosting known exoplanets is probably around 150 to 160. Many of these are easy to see and are among the brightest stars in the sky.
