In an astonishing leap for space exploration, NASA has officially announced that the count of exoplanets has surged past 6,000 — an achievement realized in just three decades of relentless searching beyond our solar system. Remarkably, this number has skyrocketed from 5,000 only three years ago, indicating a rapid acceleration in our quest to uncover the universe's hidden worlds.

In a captivating NASA video celebrating this milestone, a narration proclaims, "We're entering the next great chapter of exploration — worlds beyond our imagination. We are on the lookout for planets that could potentially support life, for cosmic neighbors, and to remind us that the universe still holds worlds waiting to be discovered."
