Will there be anymore planets to discover in my lifetime?

Question

I'm bored with all the planets in the solar system. I'm not saying I don't like them, they are very interesting. But, won't astronomers ever discover a 9th planet, possibly in my lifetime (I'm 14).

Answer 1

ys why not

be optimistic

in ur lifetime we'll discover plent more

don't worry

Answer 2

There are about 33 other plaanets in our solar system discluding the  9 u know most of them are the size of pluto or a bit bigger or smaller..... They give them number names not actaul names like pluto but like 201122(that is not acurate i just made the number up)... but they are discoving new planents ever day with the hubble and the chundra space telescopes.

Answer 3

Technology is exponentially progressing...

Just think about how many years have passed from wheel to car and then think about how many years have passed from car to airplane...

In a few decades, we might discover more than we did in few millenniums..

Answer 4

I doubt there is anything as large as the Earth orbiting the Sun that has not already been discovered.

But there are planets being discovered orbiting other stars all the time.

Answer 5

Yes, but it is unlikely they will be solar system planets. Astronomers  from time to time discover evidence for the existence of planets around other stars.  

Answer 6

Perhaps an asteroid will blow Neptune into 2, and your prayer will be answered.

Answer 7

What people are really waiting for is extraterrestrial colonization. That would perk them up quite a bit. But fossil fuels have started to decline in availability, which means that mankind will find it harder to do all sorts of things, including space ventures. We had a window of time in order to get the job done, with respect to establishing a permanent, independent human presence away from Earth, and that window, if it is not quite closed yet, is nearly so. I don't think there will ever be a "Star Trek" kind of future for us. Between powermongering, wars, and sentimental humanitarian projects, we blew off Earth's one-and-only chance for seeding the universe with its native forms of life. It's a tragedy of cosmic proportions. It makes the importance of the "Holocaust" look tiny by comparison. The passage of time is making it clear that the Second World War was the war in which God was killed.

Answer 8

Any more celestial bodies that would be discovered in our solar system would be in the Kupiter Belt, and wouldn't be considered planets because of it. They would be considered plutoids. I doubt there is any planet beyond the Kupiter belt. If you want something exciting, then start studying solar planets. Your going to get bored with our solar system period. I would recommend reading about some of the exo-planets we've discovered.

EDIT: Sorry man, but I doubt we will find another planet larger than Earth. If there was one, we would've found it by now. And like I said, I doubt it would be beyond the Kupiter belt, and that is the only possible place it could be.

Here's an idea, forget about the planets in our solar system, and study the moons. The moons in our solar system are actually very fascinating and your out of luck when it comes to additional planets in the solar system. We'll probably find hundreds of small spherical bodies in the Kupiter belt, but at most, they will be considered plutoids. Moons are going to be your best bet right now.
