New planet discovered orbiting dwarf star
The planet, MOA-2007-BLG-192Lb, lies 3,000 light years away from Earth and is the second smallest planet ever discovered outside our solar system.

Second smallest planet? I'll bet # 4 is Mats Sundin's head.

Catalog of Exoplanets:
http://www.planetary.org/programs/pr...of_exoplanets/
In the next few months, look here for The Planetary Society to debut this catalog for the public. It will be a resource available to professionals, amateurs, teachers, students, and the general public. It will be scientifically reviewed for accuracy, and new planets and modifications to our knowledge of existing planets will be continue to be added to keep it up-to-date.

Not an Exoplanet:

Wow, that catalog of Exoplanets is a bit overwhelming, in the past 10 years, 150 planets have been discovered outside our solar system.
There could be billions out there...
