what is name of newly discovered planet?

Answer 1

There are more objects than most people realise in the Solar System.

More than 1,000 Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) all discovered since 1992 and in excess of 338,000 asteroids with new asteroid discoveries coming in at the rate of 5,000 a month. Over 13,000 of these have names. There were 107 of these discovered by 1868.

Only the first four of these were ever regarded as planets (Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta) but they lost that status in the 1860s in similar circumstances to Pluto losing it today. too many other objects that would, for consistency's sake, have to be accepted as planets if they remained as planets.

Once discovered, there are a few processes that have to occur before a name is awarded. The object's orbit has to be calculated with some precision. It has to be checked that this is not a sighting of an already-known object "out of (predicted) position". The object is then given a designation, which will be a year, a couple of letters, and some numbers.

eg what I think you are thinking of is the largest dwarf planet which was initially known as 2003 UB 313. It was then unofficially given a temporary unofficial nickname (Xena) before being given a permanent name (Eris, after the Greek goddess of discord) in recent days.

There are 12 more objects proposed as dwarf planets in addition to Ceres, Eris and Pluto.

Six of these have names (Sedna, Icion, Orcus, Quaoar, Charon and Varuna)

Two have nicknames as well as designations (2005 FY9 or Easterbunny and 2003 EL61 or Santa)

Four still just have designations (2002 TC302, 2002 UX25, 2002 TX300 and 2002 AW197) four years after they were discovered.

How is a permanent name arrived at?

The discoverers have the right to propose a name but the IAU have the right to refuse to accept it, perhaps because it is too similar to another name or it doesn't fit in with IAU Naming conventions, or it is regarded as frivolous or inappropriate.

So it takes a while for an object to be named, once it is discovered. And more objects have been discovered than you would realise from reading newspaper headlines about "three new planets have just been discovered" which sound exciting until you realise how many objects have already been discovered.

There was genuine excitement when the 4 Galilean moons of Jupiter were discovered in 1610, when Uranus was discovered in 1781 and when Ceres ("The Missing Planet" between Mars and Jupiter) was discovered in 1801. They were all first of their kind.

But the novelty value of finding another asteroid when we know a third of a million of them already and we estimate there may be more than 1.1 million of them, begins to wear off after a while!

Answer 2

Tres-2 is an extra solar planet discovered just a few weeks ago. It is the first observed transiting planet in the Kepler field.

Answer 3

there is no newly discovered planet and solar system has now only 8 planets

Answer 4

Sorry, I know only one name among the 3 newly discoverd planet and that is ceres!

Answer 5

remember of fact that's a twist of fate i became basically at a eating place and the recent planet "NEBULON" or it may desire to have been "Nebulous" became there on the youngsters menu! exciting I observed this question because of the fact I knew no longer something approximately it till this evening!!! possibly what I observed on the image became no longer the planet you talk of (?) despite if it became DEPICTED AS a planet placed between Jupiter and Saturn on the image voltaic gadget map on the youngsters' menu..

Answer 6

I think you got it trued around because the took Pluto off as a planet no new one.

Answer 7

YEAH PLUTO IS REMOVED FROM OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.BUT STILL WE HAVE 10 PLANETS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM (EXCLUDING PLUTO) COZ ALREADY SCIENTISTS HAD DISCOVERED TWO MORE PLANETS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.I THINK ONE OF THE NEWLY DISCOVERED PLANET'S NAME IS "VULCAN".

Answer 8

The name is Sedna.

Answer 9

2 space objects are found but it's not planet
ya it's Tres-2.

Answer 10

It has no official "name". It has a catalogue number. HAT-P-1 b.
