Why is it only recently that planets in other solar systems have been discovered?

Other solar systems are extremely distant from us, and are correspondingly difficult to view in detail. We are constantly devising new and more powerful telescopes, and new astronomical observation methods, with which to see what we have not previously seen.

Does Planet Kepler exist?
Kepler is not a planet; it is a telescope used to find planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered by it are given names beginning with Kepler, such as Kepler-22b.
Is it likely that there are other inhabitants on other planets?
yes, especially on Mars, NASA is very excited as they have sent robots up to Mars and have recently discovered water and other substances that things could live on.
Are there planets not yet discovered?
Of course! Where we are now in space science is only the tip of the iceberg. There are so many unknown things out there.AdditionallyAstronomers are just discovering new planets outside our solar system. Until recently the planets were too far away and too dim to be seen by our best telescopes.
Is there any other planet in this universe where all the living things can be moved?
Yes, scientist know for a fact that there is other lving things on the other Planets. Recently, on world news they proved that there is water on Mars. We do not know exaclly which planets have living things because humans have only discovered The moon.
Which planet was discovered because of its gravitational pull on other planets?
It was Neptune.
Can you name any newly discovered planets or solar systems other than Kepler-22b?
Go to Wikipedia and search the article "Extrasolar planets". It has links to several lists of planets and planetary systems.
Dose all the planets orbit the sun?
All the planets in our solar system orbit our sun. Recently other suns, far out in Space, have been discovered to have their own planets.
Are there any other solar systems in the Milky Way Galaxy?
Yes. As of December 12, 2013 nearly 800 systems have been discovered with planets, including more than 170 with multiple planets.
What have astronomers discovered by measuring small gravitational wobbles in stars?
They have discovered planets and other large bodies in alien star systems by measuring stellar wobbles.
How many planets can a solar system have according to the nebular theory?
There is no maximum number, and "nebular theory" has been knocked for a loop by the recent discoveries of 400+ "extra-solar planets" - planets orbiting other stars. Classical theories predicted that planetary systems would be rare; however, it seems that every nearby star we've looked at recently has been discovered to have planets - LOTS of planets.
Could there be aliens familiar to dinosaurs on other planets?
Yes, there was recently discovered forms of ancient life on mars that looked like dinosaurs
Does Planet Kepler exist?
Kepler is not a planet; it is a telescope used to find planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered by it are given names beginning with Kepler, such as Kepler-22b.
Does the planet Kepler really exist?
There is a bit of confusion here. Kepler is not the name of a planet but of a space telescope used to discover planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this telescope are given designations such as Kepler-22b. This telescope has been used to discovered hundreds of planets.
Are they finding more planets in the solar system?
Not in our solar system. In fact the scientific community recently reduced the number of planets in our solar system by reclassifying Pluto as a Dwarf Planet. As for other solar systems, yes, there are still new planets being discovered; Often enough that the discoveries don't even usually rate any mention in mainstream news media.
Who discover the Kepler planet?

Is Kepler smaller than Jupiter?
There is no planet named Kepler. Kepler is the name of a space telescope used to find planets in other solar systems. Planets discovered with this method are given designations such as Kepler 22-b. Some planets discovered have been larger than Jupiter.
Are the new planets Kepler-62f and Kepler-62e or Ceres and Eris?
Ceres and Eris are not planets; they are classified as dwarf planets. Eris was discovered in our solar system recently and not by the Kepler mission. Ceres is not "new" either; it was discovered the first day of the 19th. Century. I didn't check the specific "Kepler-" codes, but that looks like planets discovered by the Kepler mission to be orbiting around other stars.
