Gliese 581g has been discovered recently and scientists and astronomers think that there could be life on it - as it is in the 'Goldilocks zone' - a zone where there could well be water and land on planets in this area.
The new planet that was discovered with water is around 110 light-years away from Earth.
Scientists have evidence of and say that a new Neptune sized planet lurks beyond the edge of our solar system. There has been no visual sighting of this planet. However it is probably so far out it will be very difficult to find given present technologies.
As of now, there are 8 recognized planets in our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. No new planets have been discovered recently.
There are currently over a thousand known planets, most of them discovered recently; I would guess that currently, dozens of planets, perhaps over a hundred planets, are discovered every year.
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. Uranus is the twin planet of Neptune. The twin planet of Earth is Venus. There has also been a new planet discovered recently, 600 light years away, called Kepler-22b, which seems to be very identical to planet Earth.
Titan is not a planet; it is a moon of Saturn. It was discovered by Christiaan Huygens in 1655.

well back of Pluto there is a planet but they are still learning about it.
Scientists have evidence of and say that a new Neptune sized planet lurks beyond the edge of our solar system. There has been no visual sighting of this planet. However it is probably so far out it will be very difficult to find given present technologies.
the teacher who discovered the newest planet was Mrs. Munez living in paknaan new york city
I believe they discovered a planet a couple of years ago, that they named Krypton, but i believe it has been downgraded since then to a dwarf planet or an asteriod. And I don't think it could sustain life. So no superman coming from that planet!

They are categorized as "dwarf planets" now, leaving only 8 regular planets in our solar system. The names of all the dwarf planets are:CeresPlutoHaumeaMakemakeEris
