Which planet was the first to be discovered in modern times?

In "modern times" as we know them, Uranus was the first planet discovered. All the other planets known to then were visible to the naked eye from earth, and, thus, were known to ancients. It is exceptionally dim and moves very slowly in its orbit. Uranus was discovered by William Hershel, who saw it in a telescope and announced his discovery on March 13, 1781. The Neptune was discovered in 1846.

How many planets do not have moons that orbit around them?

Of the eight planets in the Solar System, the only two that have no moons are Mercury and Venus. Earth has one moon, Mars two, and the gas giants Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune have dozens between them - no one really knowing just how many there are as new ones are being discovered each year. The first member of the minor planets beyond Neptune - Pluto - is now not designated as a major planet. It has at least three moons. There are many more minor planets beyond Pluto that have moons - and again these are being discovered yearly.


Earth has abundant life dou you think that other planets or moons might support life If so which ones which characteristics of the planets or moons might be conducive to life?

It is my personal opinion that Earth cannot be the only planet that has abundant life. I believe that if life is going to be discovered on another planet that it will be the newest plant to be discovered, planet Kepler 186f.
