Astronomers are just beginning to discovery exosolar planets (exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars other than the Sun).
As of February 2009, 340 exoplanets have been discovered, according to the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia.
Likely, in the next few years, we’ll discover thousands of more exoplanets, especially with new and more powerful telescopes orbiting out in space.
Additional information about exoplanets is found on the website of California & Carnegie Planet Search (CCPS): http://exoplanets.org/.
Space.com has an interesting article entitled “Top 10 Most Intriguing Exosolar Planets.”
