Astronomers are constantly finding new planets orbiting stars other than our sun. In 2005 astronomers discovered a new object, later named Eris, which almost become the tenth planet. The discussion of this object resulted in a new definition of a planet which excluded Eris.
As of my last update, astronomers have not discovered a new planet in our solar system. However, new exoplanets outside our solar system are routinely being discovered using various observational techniques.
No. Most follow the new IAU definition of a planet which excludes Pluto.
No, not all astronomers consider Pluto a planet. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union, leading to debate among scientists about its classification. Some astronomers argue that Pluto does not meet all the criteria to be considered a full planet.
Astronomers have newly discovered a planet , Gliese 581g, within the "Goldilocks" zone - see related link to the news article .
That would be planet Earth. Our very own home planet.
Since the beginning of astronomy. Astronomers are ALWAYS looking for new things.
well back of Pluto there is a planet but they are still learning about it.

Astronomers think Pluto is a dwarf planet. And they're right.
