We now know of the many thousands of Exoplanets that exist throughout the universe and even beyond our own Milky Way Galaxy. With such an extensive line-up and diversity of planets found recently by NASA's TESS and Kepler Mission there is still only a handful that can be considered habitable, as rare as finding golden grains of sand at the beach. Many exoplanets may be too big to support life, too far from their host star(s) or may not support liquid water.
The University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo's Planetary Laboratory has put together a catalogue showing where we may find some of these newly found worlds in the night sky. This is a beautiful showcase summarizing the work of the Kepler Mission and TESS. They also have a very dedicated statistical list of characterizing many of our potentially habitable worlds.
The Kepler mission targeted a specific designation covering stars in the Lyrae, Draco and Cygnus Star Constellations for over 3 years of study, hence why there are many worlds focused upon a small point in the sky!
