Pluto is no longer classified as a planet, but as a new type of object called a dwarf planet. There are three planets in out solar system orbiting beyond Pluto: Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. None of these were ever classified as planets.

Outside our solar system there are over 1,050 known planets orbiting other stars in the Galaxy. The total number of planets in the Galaxy is estimated to be 100 billion to 400 billion.
