So far 226 other planetary systems outside our own Solar System have been confirmed. Of these 26 systems have been found to have multiple planets. All in all there are 263 known extrasolar planets and new ones are found all the time.

No planetary system like our own Solar System have been found.

You can read about extrasolar planets in the Wikipedia and use the references in the articles for further reading. As new planets are constantly found their numbers are usually a bit too low in wikipedia.

Hi..
So far, a total of 263 planets have been found beyond our own solar system ==>http://exoplanet.eu/catalog.php

Although they're total planet count is outdated, this site has some interesting information about some of the exoplanets found so far ==>http://exoplanets.org/

http://exoplanets.org/planets.shtml
well, theres at least 220 exoplanets on that page (near the bottom) I'd say for every 6 planets you might have 1 solar system. So at least maybe 35

If the planet is listed (on the left) as:
HD 4208 b
(for example)

Type
"HD 4208"
(without the b)
in the search area on the left, near the bottom on this link,
and click GO
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page


The B was the number of the planet
a=star(they don't use a)
b=planet 1
c= planet 2
d=planet 3 and so on

good luck
