Kepler-90 in the context of List of multiplanetary systems

From the total of 4,490 stars known to have exoplanets (as of October 2, 2025), there are a total of 1,017 known multiplanetary systems, or stars with at least two confirmed planets, beyond the Solar System. This list includes systems with at least three confirmed planets or two confirmed planets where additional candidates have been proposed. The stars with the most confirmed planets are the Sun (the Solar System's star) and Kepler-90, with eight confirmed planets each, followed by TRAPPIST-1 with seven planets.

The 1,013 multiplanetary systems are listed below according to the star's distance from Earth. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, has at least two planets (the confirmed b, d and the disputed c). The nearest system with four or more confirmed planets is Barnard Star, with four known. The farthest confirmed system with two or more planets is OGLE-2012-BLG-0026L, at 13,300 light-years (4,100 pc) away.
