The hunt for habitable extrasolar planets continues! Thanks to dedicated missions like Kepler , TESS , and Hubble , the number of confirmed extrasolar planets has exploded in the past fifteen years (with 5,272 confirmed and counting!).
The CARMENES instrument is an optical and near-infrared spectrograph mounted on the 3.5-meter telescope and one of the most sophisticated planet-hunting in the world using the Radial Velocity Method .

As of this writing, almost 5300 exoplanets spanning approximately 4000 planetary systems have been confirmed to exist in our universe.
