Exoplanet host stars: The Kepler field of view (exoplanet.eu)


This is an addition to the post before. The plot shows the Kepler field of view in detail, all symbols and colors stay the same. This is the region in the sky from which we - by far - know the most planets around stars. Until July 23, 2015, Kepler has discovered 1879 confirmed exoplanets around 471 stars (according to exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu).
