which is the recently discovered planet?

The most recent planet discovered in our our solar system is named Cedna after the Inuit goddess of the sea. It is even smaller than Pluto.

Largest known to date is the "puffy planet" HAT-P-1b orbiting the sunlike star ADS 16402 B, one of a binary pair of G0 V stars 450 light yeard away, in the constellation Lacerta. Our sun is of spectral class G2 V i.e. a little cooler than ADS 16402 B.\n\nHAT-P-1b has a radius of 1.36 x the radius of Jupiter. \n\nIt was discovered on 13 September 2006 and is 450 light years away. It has the lowest density of any known extrasolar planet. It also has the name Krais.\n\nIt was announced as follows:\n\n"Using small automated telescopes in Arizona and Hawaii, the HATNet project has detected an object transiting one member of the double star system ADS 16402 AB. This system is a pair of G0 main-sequence stars with age about 3 billion years, at a distance of ~139 parsecs and projected separation of ~1550 AU. The transit signal has a period of 4.46529 days."\n\nNote: Only the radii of transiting planets are known.

July 29, 2005: "It's definitely bigger than Pluto." So says Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology who announced today the discovery of a new planet in the outer solar system.\n\nThe planet, which hasn't been officially named yet, was found by Brown and colleagues using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego. It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth, or 97 Astronomical Units (AU). For comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun\nThe planet's temporary name is 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name. \nAm I right U_EVERYONE_K

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."

Scientists using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have discovered and directly imaged a small brown dwarf star, 50 times the mass of Jupiter, orbiting with a planet around a Sun-like star. Such an arrangement has never before been seen but might be common, the scientists say, leading to solar systems with distorted planetary orbits.\n\nKevin Luhman of Penn State University is the lead author on a report describing this discovery, which will be published in The Astrophysical Journal. The discovery concerns a class of the coldest brown dwarfs, called T dwarfs.\n\n\nThe detailed research paper on T dwarf - Ref\nhttp://www.science.psu.edu/alert/Luhman9-2006-2.htm

My favorite planet is the 10th planet, 2003 UB313, discovered to be larger than Pluto last year, and is also known as "Xena". (If you think im full of it read up on it yourself)

It's the planet Venus.\nMore about it at http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/28nov_venusshadows.htm

maybe you wanted to write 10th planet, not 11th planet.\n\nmaybe there was such a thing but i don't see any records of it on nasa-s site.\n\nWhat i do see is the report of the 10-th planet being discovered, maybe that's what u  were reffering to.\n\nhere's the link\n\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/29jul_planetx.htm

Yes! The 10th planet was discovered in 2005, and is temporarily known as 2003 UB313.  However, 2003 UB313 is located in the Kuiper belt, which is made up of numerous objects, and there may be many more that could be counted as planets.  The definition of "planet" is currently a topic of debate, and some argue that neither 2003 UB313 nor Pluto should be considered planets.  I believe that the popular media has sometimes refered to it as "planet x," but this is not its official name.

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.

The info in the last answer is seven years old! The two planets it refers to brought the total of known extra solar planets to 17. It is now 210 and we are finding them at the rate of over 20 a year.\n\nThe Extra-solar Planets Encyclopedia maintained by the Paris Observatory reports two further planets WASP-1 and WASP-2 that have been found since the "puffy planet" HAT-1-Pb was announced on September 14th 2006.\n\nIt laconically states: 26 September:  WASP-1b and WASP-2b : two new transiting exoplanets detected with SuperWASP and SOPHIE (Collier Cameron et al.) \n\nThe Wikipedia link and CIT link reveal: \n\nSuperWASP is the Wide Angle Search for Planets program\n\nStar: WASP-1 \nConstellation: Andromeda\nRight ascension: 00h 20m 40s \nDeclination: +31° 59′ 24″ \nSpectral type: F7V \nDistance of star: 1000 light years\nMass of Star; 1.15 x Mass of Sun\nPlanet b Garafia-1 \nPlanet Type: Hot Jupiter\nPlanet mass: 0.89 x Mass of Jupiter\nOrbital period: 2.51997 Earth days\nSemi-major axis: 0.0382 AU\nOrbital Eccentricity: 0  \n\nStar: WASP-2 \nConstellation: Delphinus\nRight ascension: 20h 30m 54s \nDeclination: +06° 25′ 46″ \nSpectral type: K1V\nDistance of star: 500 light years\nApparent Magnitude of Star: 11.98\nMass of Star; 0.79 x Mass of Sun\nPlanet: b\nPlanet Type: Hot Jupiter\nPlanet mass: 0.88 x Mass of Jupiter\nOrbital period: 2.152226 Earth days\nSemimajor axis: 0.0307 AU\nOrbital eccentricity: 0\n\nInformation seems scant. This much I could glean, but you might like to do a Google search for WASP-1 and WASP-2 to see what you can discover.

yes , scientists have recently discovered another storm on the planet which is recent along with an 300 tear old storm which looks like an eye.  the planet jupiter has got the fastest rotation for a planet in the entire solar system with it taking only 9 hours for 1 rotation

The new CEV, "Crew Exploration Vehicle".\n\nWe're finally getting out of low earth orbit and back into the solar system!

Unknown, of course. But the largest planet in our SOLAR SYSTEM is Jupiter.

Actually, the people who found it honestly want to have it called Xena.\n\nOn July 29, 2005, a Trans-Neptunian object called 2003 UB313 was announced, which on the basis of its magnitude and simple albedo considerations is assumed to be larger than Pluto. This caused its discoverers to call it the "10th planet" of the solar system, although there is no consensus yet on whether to call it a planet, and others consider the new discovery to be the strongest argument yet for demoting Pluto to the status of a minor planet.\n\nBut until then, it's being refered to as Planet X.
