In 2014 astronomers discovered over 800 new planets outside of the solar system.
The exact number varies depending on which catalogue you consult. NASA's Exoplanet Archive puts the number at 860, whereas the long-running Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia puts it at 803. That's because each database uses slightly different criteria.
Either way, that's a lot of new planets.
Most of those came from a single announcement in February when NASA's Kepler mission confirmed the existence of a massive 715 exoplanets.
In 2013 Kepler suffered a setback when one of the wheels that kept it in the right alignment failed. This year's huge Kepler haul came from previously collected data.
Astronomers couldn't do anything to fix the wheel, but they did manage to find another way to use the spacecraft, starting in June this year. And it's working – one planet has already been found this way.
To make the size of these numbers a little more tangible, here are the 803 planets listed in the Extrasolar Planet Catalogue that were discovered last year.
They're ordered by when their entry was last updated. For more information on any individual planet, search this list for its name and go to its entry in the catalogue.
