12.5 Light Years from the Sun: The closest star to the Sun is only 7000 times further than the edge of our solar system. This map shows all of the stellar systems that lie within 12.5 light years from us – from An Atlas of the Universe

Habitable Exoplanets Catalog (HEC)

The Habitable Exoplanets Catalog (HEC) is an online database of potentially habitable worlds discoveries for scientists, educators, and the general public. HEC is a project of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory (PHL). The PHL is a research and educational virtual laboratory dedicated to studies of the habitability of Earth, the Solar System, and extrasolar planets. At the PHL you’ll find other Projects, like the Earth Similarity Index (ESI).

The Wikipedia List of potentially habitable exoplanets is based on HEC and NASA Exoplanet Archive data.

NASA Exoplanet Archive

The NASA Exoplanet Archive is an online astronomical exoplanet catalog and data service that collects and serves public data that support the search for and characterization of extra-solar planets (exoplanets) and their host stars.
