you know about new planet?

A 10th planet has recently been found in our Solar System. It's designation right now is UB313. Check out the following website for more information:\n\nhttp://channels.isp.netscape.com/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0001/20060201/1301968801.htm&ewp=ewp_news_0106planet&floc=NI-slot1a

Yes there is a tenth planet out there but they haven't named it yet, all we know is that its a kuiper belt object, and larger than pluto

Xena is the tenth discovered planet although scientists still debate on whether its a planet or a captured iceball. Nirubu hasnt been officially declared a planet yet. Keep this in mind...the definition of planet or satellite is simply an object that travels in an orbital manner around a star. By the way I believe you meant solar system, not universe. We live in our solar system which resides in the milky way galaxy far out on one of the galaxies radial arms. There are billions of galaxies if not more! Feel small now?

The new things they discovered are Sedna and Quaoar. So there could be 11 planets\nThe planet Quaoar  is the 11th  planet in the meridian solar system . Its orbit is different than the other planets in our solar system.  The surface of Quaoar is barren it consists mainly of hard rock and ice there is a light atmosphere around the planet Quaoar but it's not fit for humans. There are no life forms on the surface of Quaoar it is a dead planet and you could say the planet Quaoar is a large rock trapped in the darkness of the Kuiper belt in a orbit around our sun. \n\nThe planet Sedna is the second most reddish planetary body in the Solar System, after Mars. Although inclined by only around 11.9 degrees from the ecliptic where the eight major planets orbit, Sedna's distant orbit is extremely elliptical indicating that its formation and orbit may have been influenced by by a passing nearby star during the early years of the Solar System, when Sol formed out of a molecular cloud with many other closeby stars around 4.6 billion years ago. There is indirect evidence (an unexpectedly slow 40-day rotation) that Sedna has its own moon, which astronomers hope to confirm with the Hubble Space Telescope (more information and images from NASA. The icy object will move closer to the Sun over the next 72 years -- to 76 AUs of Sol -- before receding back towards the inner Oort Cloud. \n\nThis is about their discoveries: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/29jul_planetx.htm\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3511678.stm

(to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star")\n\nI know the planets one by one\nStarting with the one that's closest to the sun.\nMercury, Venus, Earth and Mars,\nAre the first four among the stars.\nJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune\nAre the next planets in my tune.\nPluto's the farthest one from the sun.\nI know the planets one by one.\n\nIf you like it choose it as best answer...... It would be a "Thank You" for what I've done.

Discovery of the 10th planet!  Recent discovery.  Not much info. yet so no one can say if you are wrong on any point!

i don't know if any earth-like planets exist, but i would be excited and not be surprised, if someone found any.

Wow, just asked my 10year old same question.  He said it is a planet they have recently discovered about twice the distance of Pluto.

More than a decade after the first planets beyond our solar system were found, astronomers have discovered about 200 of these "extrasolar planets," as they're called. Using a common-sense definition of potentially habitable planets, coupled with extensive computer simulations, scientists have calculated how many potentially habitable planets might be detected around other stars by the SIM PlanetQuest mission. ("SIM" stands for Space Interferometry Mission.) \n\nThe mission, scheduled for a launch in the next decade, will target planets with specific traits in common with Earth: a similar mass and an orbit in the "habitable zone," not too close and not too far from its parent star. With this mass and location, it's believed a planet could have liquid water on its surface and an atmosphere -- conditions considered necessary for life to gain a foothold. \n\nThe science team has shown that, in a survey of the best 120 candidate stars for hosting such planets, SIM PlanetQuest would have the sensitivity to find: \n\n-- Planets smaller than Earth around six stars \n\n-- Planets smaller than twice Earth's mass around 24 stars

Often many people get involved in discovering a "planet" as several observations are required to verify and calculate the orbit.  Exactly what a planet is is subject to debate as even Pluto is not completely accepted as one.  The debate includes the question "how big does a rock have to be for us to call it a planet as opposed to an asteroid?"  Planet X was one possibility that seemed to just fade out of the news.  "Buffy" is the nickname of the latest "unusual" object out there (see my source article).  Heheheh, yes, "Xena" came public a few days before "Buffy."  Both are among the many rocks in the Kuiper Belt, including Pluto.  NASA's launching a probe called "New Horizons" to check out Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.

First of all, it is not galaxy you are talking about, it is solar system. Secondly, a lot of people here are saying why ask such a stupid question. What most of them probably don't know is that while pluto is the smallest of our "officially classified" planets it has come to light in recent months that we may have more planets. \n\nThe debate has been raging on in the space exploration community that recently discovered bodies past pluto may actually be planets in our system as well. They are also saying they may take pluto off the official planet list because it is looking more and more like a captured asteroid compared to these new planets.\n\nFor those who want to read more about these new planets, do a search for the planet Xena (which is the temporary code name for the new planet). \n\nIn short, Pluto is "currently" the right answer but if it is removed from the list, then mercury will be the smallest planet.\n\nHope this helps!

There are 6 planets that even the ancients knew about.  From the sun outward, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.  (of  course, the ancients did not know that Earth was quite a bit like those little points of light that moved through the heavens).  William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781. Neptune was discovered on September 23, 1846 by Johann Gottfried Galle. And Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto on February 18th, 1930.\n\nA few other discoveries may turn out to be planets.  In 2003 Mike Brown and two other astronomers discovered an object larger than Pluto, temporarily named 2003 UB313.  The International Astronomical Union will make a determination whether UB313 will be called a planet, and they'll also give it a proper name from mythology.  \n\nAnd astronomers have found other planet-sized bodies circling distant stars. As of May 18th, 193 of these "extra-solar" (meaning away from our sun) planets have been discovered.  See the exoplanet link below for more info.\n\nSo, to sum things up, from the sun outward, your list is:\n\nMercury\nVenus\nEarth\nMars\nJupiter\nSaturn\nUranus\nNeptune\nPluto\nUB 313 (maybe)\n\nand 193 planets somewhere else in our Milky Way galaxy.

The LATEST (April, 2006) planets discovered in our GALAXY -\n(1)HD2246936 b\n(2)HD33283 b\n(3)HD86081 b\n\nSedna is the latest major object to be discovered in our solar system. It has NOT been officially designated as a planet yet, nor has its name been officially designated.

The science writer, Dava Sobel, has just published a nice little book that talks about all this stuff for non-science people. Check it out at the library. It's called "The Planets" and it has the latest stuff in it.

It might be Seti@Home...\nIt's to look for extra terrestrials...\nhttp://setiathome.berkeley.edu/
