Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Nearest stars with terrestrial ("rocky") exoplanets candidates at a distance of up to 50 light-years from the Solar System.

- at least one of terrestrial exoplanets in the system lying inside the star's habitable zone (names of host stars also shown)

- terrestrial exoplanets, but outside the habitable zone

Positions of the dots represent a distance of the host star from the Solar System and a right ascension of the host star. They don't represent distances between host stars.

Right ascension: clockwise, from the upper point of the diagram.

Note: There is still some uncertainty among scientists about terrestrial composition or habitability of most of exoplanets. Sources listed below confirm the possibility of terrestrial composition and habitability.
