List of directly imaged exoplanets

This method works best for young planets that emit infrared light and are far from the glare of the star.

This list does not include free-floating planetary-mass objects in star-forming regions or young associations, which are also referred to as rogue planets.

The coldest and oldest planet directly imaged is Epsilon Indi Ab, which has six times Jupiter's mass, an effective temperature of 275 K, and an age of about 3.5 Ga.

Exoplanets have been discovered using several different methods for collecting or combining direct images to isolate planets from the background light of their star.

Non-Redundant Aperture Masking Interferometry is a method of combining the views of multiple telescopes into a single image, while the other methods are algorithms for combining multiple direct images taken from the same telescope.
