Spitzer, have been indirectly discovered.

In the new studies, Spitzer directly observed the warm infrared glows of
two previously detected "hot Jupiter" planets, designated HD 209458b and TrES-
1. Hot Jupiters are extrasolar gas giants that zip closely around their parent
stars.
Spitzer is ideally suited for studying extrasolar planets , known to
transit stars the size of our sun, out to distances of 500 light-years. As more are discovered , Spitzer will be able to collect their light,
a bonus for the observatory, considering it was not originally designed to see
extrasolar planets. The ability of the system to rapidly survey large areas
of the sky makes it particularly powerful for detecting objects such
