The measured masses and orbits of the 185 known exoplanets within 200 pc provide information on the formation and dynamics of planetary systems. Multiple-planet systems, especially those in resonances, contain rich information on migration, scattering, and capture. Some old theories of planet formation survive, but many new processes have emerged as important. A new domain of planets from 1-14 Earth masses, not found in our Solar System, is becoming accessible observationally, with several detections in hand. The formation and possible final structures of rocky and rock-ice planets may yield more diversity than currently imagined. The Kepler Mission and a new 2.4-m Automated Planet Finder telescope at Lick Obs. portend the detection of rocky planets around other stars.
