Resumo
The detection in 1995 of the first exoplanet candidate discovered around a main sequence star different from the Sun marked the beginning of a Copernican revolution in Astrophysics and in Science in general. In this review I will briefly revise the short history and the methods employed to detect exoplanets and how they will be discovered in the near future. A special emphasis will be given to the exoplanet candidates detected via the radial velocity method and to those directly detected in very young star clusters.
