When did the first exoplanet around a Sun-like star get discovered?

51 Pegasi b was announced in 1995 by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. It orbited a star similar to the Sun and helped launch the modern era of exoplanet discovery. The planet was found using the radial velocity method, which detects tiny wobbles in a star caused by an orbiting planet. That discovery showed that planetary systems can be very different from the one in our Solar System.
