  • Beyond Pluto: Understanding Dwarf Planets and Trans-Neptunian Objects
    There isn't a new planet found after Pluto. Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, and there hasn't been a discovery of another planet in our solar system since then.

    However, there are many dwarf planets beyond Pluto's orbit, including:

    * Eris: Larger than Pluto, discovered in 2005.

    * Makemake: Discovered in 2005, smaller than Pluto.

    * Haumea: An unusually elongated dwarf planet, discovered in 2004.

    There's also a vast number of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) - icy bodies that orbit the sun beyond Neptune, which includes dwarf planets and other smaller objects.

    The search for a hypothetical "Planet Nine" continues, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.
