Our stellar neighbourhood
Galaxy explorer
Locate known exoplanet systems around the Sun. Select a host to explore its planets.
Search measured systems in the accessible directory → Works without JavaScript or a 3D display.
Load the map to explore in 3D, or browse the accessible system directory.
The map shows known detections, not the distribution of all planets. Systems without usable positions are omitted: 28.
Positions use NASA catalogue astrometry, without stellar-motion propagation. Nearby axes follow Galactic coordinates. The overview places the Sun 8,122 parsecs from the Galactic centre and 20.8 parsecs above its plane.
