Some highlights:
– Transit Method Dominance: 73.8% of all exoplanets were found via the transit method (detecting starlight dips as planets cross their stars). Radial velocity is a distant second at 19.1%.
– Kepler's Legacy: The Kepler Space Telescope alone discovered 2,784 planets; 45.9% of all known exoplanets.
– The sky map shows a dense cluster in the Cygnus constellation / Kepler's fixed viewing area. Most "known" exoplanets are in one small patch of sky.
– 25 Goldilocks Candidates: Only 25 planets have both Earth-like size (0.8-1.5 R⊕) AND temperate temperatures (200-320K). This is just 0.4% of all known exoplanets.
– 557 Tatooine-like Worlds: 9.2% of exoplanets orbit in binary or multi-star systems.
