As of October 2023, the most recent discoveries of non-dwarf planets in our solar system primarily involve the identification of large celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt. While some potential candidates have been proposed, the most notable is "The Goblin" (2015 TG387), which is classified as a trans-Neptunian object but has not yet been officially designated as a planet. The search for new planets continues, particularly in the distant reaches of our solar system, but any discoveries are subject to ongoing research and confirmation.

What are the key differences between planets and dwarf planets?

The key differences between planets and dwarf planets are their size, location, and ability to clear their orbit of other objects. Planets are larger celestial bodies that have cleared their orbit of debris, while dwarf planets are smaller and have not cleared their orbit. Additionally, planets are located in the inner solar system, while dwarf planets are often found in the outer solar system.


What is the new planet of the solar system?

As of my last update, there are eight recognized planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The International Astronomical Union redefined the criteria for planethood in 2006, leading to the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet. So, currently, there is no new planet in the solar system.

As of now, there are five recognized dwarf planets in our solar system: Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres. These celestial bodies meet the criteria set by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) for dwarf planets, which include orbiting the Sun and having sufficient mass to assume a nearly round shape. While other objects may be classified as potential dwarf planets, these five are officially recognized.
