There are no known new planets. However, planets that are new for us, i.e. that were not previously known, are discovered, at a rate of several hundred planets a year. In other words, there is no "the" new planet.

Do scientists still explore the Milky Way Galaxy and find new things?
Most of the observation astronomers make are inside our Galaxy. Of course we still find new things. The Milky Way is a very complex and diverse collection of celestial objects. We still have much to learn!
What is significant about the Milky Way galaxy?
For several decades, astronomers believed that the Milky Way galaxy was a spiral galaxy similar to M31 in Andromeda. But recent observations indicate that the Milky Way may actually be a "barred spiral" galaxy.In either event, the Sun and our solar system are about 2/3 of the way out on one of the spiral arms, a very long way from the center of the Milky Way. Which is probably just as well, as recent research indicates that many galaxies including ours may have supermassive black holes at the center. So anywhere near the center of the galaxy would probably be a very nasty place to be!
What was the new pledge from Stargirl?
The pledge in Stargirl is: "I pledge allegiance to United Turtles of America and to the fruit bats of Borne, one planet in the Milky Way, incredible, with justice and black bean burritos for all
What happened to Earth in the TV show Firefly?
In the Firefly universe, details on why humans left "Earth-that-was" have been vague. What we could assume based on the series and from the film is that the planet could no longer sustain the growing population. So, they left Earth and repopulated themselves in multiples planets ("New Earths") in another part of the galaxy. In the film Serenity, the voiceover says they found a "new galaxy", but considering Earth's past is vague, the population could have relocated to another part of our galaxy.
Are quasars and active galaxies cosmic cannibals?
well actually all galaxies are active, and yes they do combine after a dance across the sky, and the center of the galaxies combine, I wouldn't call it eating though because all they do is combine with each other. ______________________________________________________________________ The Andromeda galaxy is approaching our Galaxy at about 300 Km/s, and the collision between both galaxies will take place in about 4.5 billion years. Andromeda galaxy is larger in both astronomical size and number of stars than the Milky Way, although Andromeda may not be the most massive, as recent findings suggest that the Milky Way may contain more Dark Matter, and so could be most massive than Andromeda (galaxy Messier 31 or National General Catalog 224). Who will «eat» who? Bets are accepted...
Did any new planet exist in the milky way?
Milky way could be a name of our galaxy.as we knew galaxy have had millions of planets..........so there could be a new planet could exist
Is the Milky Way visible from Italy?
Under optimal conditions (absence of clouds, and the phase of the moon being new moon) yes, the milky way is the galaxy that this planet resides in.
What galaxy is new London located?
Our local galaxy is the Milky Way.
Where within the Milky Way are new stars being formed?
Inside the Milky Way galaxy.....
The Milky Way galaxy contains instellar matter may?
The Milky Way Galaxy contains interstellar matter that may form new stars.
What galaxy has arms where lots of new stars are being born?
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy (actually a bared spiral) and new stars are being born in the spiral arms.
What other planets are after Pluto in the Milky Way Galaxy?
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.
What type of galaxy has giant bright new stars around the edges and older stars in the middle?
a spiral galaxy like the milky way
What type of galaxy is your system in?
Our solar system is located inside the Milky Way galaxy about midway between the galaxy's edge and its center.our solar system is in one of the spiral arms of our galaxy. This is where most healthy young stars are, as opposed to the aging red giants nearer to the dense core of the Milky Way Galaxy. Nothing is particularly special about our position in space, besides the fact that it is an area of new star formation.if you want a picture then see the related link.
What will happen to the milky way galaxy in the universe?
Difficult to know for certain. However, it seems likely that the Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 3.4 billion years or so. The supermassive black holes that are believed to be in the centers of many galaxies (including the Milky Way) will probably merge, and most of the stars of the combined galaxy will eventually settle into position in the new galaxy. But some stars will likely be flung out into interstellar space.

Most of the observation astronomers make are inside our Galaxy. Of course we still find new things. The Milky Way is a very complex and diverse collection of celestial objects. We still have much to learn!
What is some information on the Milky Way galaxy?
Our galaxy is called the Milky Way because people on Earth see it as a milky band in the night sky. Also, in Greek Mythology, the Milky Way was created by milk spilled when Hera, the wife of Zeus, was feeding Hercules. The Milky Way Galaxy is fifteen-twenty billion years old. The mass of the Milky Way Galaxy is about 750 billion to 1 trillion solar masses. (One solar mass is equal to the mass of the Sun which is 2 x 1027.) The diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years. At the center of the concave, spiral-shaped galaxy, there is an ominous black hole. Any stars that you can see in the night sky without a telescope are a part of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy is estimated to have between 100 and 400 billion stars. The solar systems, mainly the stars, orbit the Milky Way Galaxy. The oldest stars in the Milky Way lie near the center of the galaxy and in a halo, which consists of globular clusters and lone ancient stars.The Galaxy is believed to have six logarithmic arms. They are named as Perseus Arm, the Scutum-Crux Arm, the Carina arm, the Sagittarius arm, the Norma arm, and Cygnus Arm. Along the spiral arms, away from the galactic center, interstellar clouds collapse because of gravity into tight fists of gas and dust that become clusters of new stars. The Milky Way Galaxy is the second largest galaxy in a group classified as the "Local Group". Our galaxy is heading towards another galaxy, which is the Andromeda Galaxy. This means that we are on a high collision course and are racing at a speed of about 100 miles per second. A crash will happen in the next 2 to 4 billion years. I hope this helped!
