People say there might be a 10th planet!  What would you name it?
471723
Scientists not only say 'there might be', they say it really exists! And they've already named it (I don't remember it's name because it's kind of stupid..). Also they guess it used to be a moon of Neptune (as Pluto was). If I'd been these scientists who discovered the planet, I'd call it Bridget (because it's unreachable as I am.. lol)

In the last few years, there have been three bodies each reported as being a new tenth planet. Their provisional names are: 50000 Quaoar, 90377 Sedna and 2003 UB313.\n\nEach time a new planetoid discovery is named, it reignites discussion on whether Pluto itself, currently considered the solar system's ninth planet, is truly a planet at all.\n\nIn fiction, tenth planets are quite common: one of the most famous was created for the British television science fiction series, Doctor Who, in 1966. In that story, the tenth planet was Mondas, originally a sister planet to Earth, which somehow left our solar system for a while. To survive, the humans on the planet started replacing their body parts with cybernetics -- over time turning the whole planet's population into Cybermen.

Yes UB313 (which was not discovered last year, but in 2003).\n\nBe careful calling it a planet, however.  Web sites and journalists love to talk about the "tenth planet" because it sounds more exciting that "yet another trans-neptunian object (TNO)."  However, astronomers (the International Astronomical Union, or IAU) do not officially recognize this as a "planet."  This may change later this year (in September) when the IAU is scheduled to come up with a more solid definition of what a "planet" is (how big, what orbit, etc.) ... but until then, you sound more like a real astronomer if you don't call it a "planet."

Saturn.\n\nJust kidding.  It's Jupiter.

They discover new planets in the universe everyday. But 10th planet in our solar system has been discovered. It has been couple of months, though. You can read more here: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2005/jul/HQ_05209_10th_Planet.html

Right now there are officially 9.  Depending on what we decide in the next year or so that number will change to 8, stay 9, go to 10, or even larger.  An object larger than Pluto has been found, but we have not granted it official status as a planet.  Don't expect this issue to be resolved any time soon, we've more or less "tabled" the issue until our general meeting in August.

It's actually just a large asteroid, and they haven't decided whether to call it a planet yet. Problem is, they also discovered that Pluto is just a large asteroid, and if they disacknowledge the new planet, they would have to also disacknowledge Pluto.

Over 2 years ago, scientists DID find a 10th planet beyond Pluto, and it's even larger than Pluto. The planet is a typical member of the Kuiper belt, but its sheer size in relation to the nine known planets means that it can only be classified as a planet. Currently about 97 times further from the sun than the Earth, the planet is the farthest-known object in the solar system, and the third brightest of the Kuiper belt objects. \n\nFor images and info, check the NASA web site: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/newplanet-072905.html

From the planets you just mentioned.

Well... Pluto isn't exactly a planet... some people speculate it is... others don't. Yes, another one has been discovered a while ago... I think it was Planet Nebula or something... in the far away galaxy of Cygnus (the constellation that resembles a goose)... You are talking about our solar system... right? I thought as much. In our solar system... there'd be 8 or 9, depending if you call Pluto a planet or not.\n\nEDIT: OK... there was one mass that could be considered a planet found in our solar system. It was called Ceres or something... found between Mars and Jupiter. Pluto may be an asteroid!

There are actually several "planet like" objects beyond Pluto in an area called the Kuiper belt that contains thousands of objects that circle the sun.\n\nAt present none of them have been officially recognized as new planets. \nThe discovery of these new planet size objects including  2003 UB313 (nicknamed XENA), Sedna(in 2004) and Quaoar(in 2002 by the same team) have triggered a re-evaluation of the necessary criteria to call something a planet.\n\nIt is likely that this team at Caltech will  discover other objects to be added to the list of potential "planets" in our solar system.\n\n2003 UB313(nicknamed XENA unofficially) is larger than Pluto which leaves officials in a bit of dilemna.  How can they recognize Pluto as a planet and not this object?

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!

UB313, the 10th "planet" that is said to be bigger than Pluto.\n\nI'm not lying, read all the sources.\nBTW, the CNN news which adds support to the discovered planet is dated February 2, 2006.

its a planet that called mercury.

The Name is Sedna (the 10th planet)

Do you really mean plants? If so there are quite a few.\nIf you meant planets then most people say 9, although there is a big controversy about what makes something a planet. We have discovered another named Sedna and a couple more that may eventually be called planets.

No, NOT Sedna!  (This is how bad information just multiplies.)\n\nSedna is smaller than Pluto, and unlikely to be classified a planet.  If anything will be classified as our 10th planet it is 2003 UB313, which is larger than Pluto.\n\nBut until then, we only have 9 official planets.
