We have discovered over 6000 exoplanets in total, and over 100 in this year. I’d be surprised if you knew of all of them
Comment on A rogue object so strange, scientists aren’t sure what to call it.

I mean… it’s definitely possible, I have seen a person naming every subdivision of the world, which is a bit less than the amount of exoplanets we know (~4000 vs. ~6000), but only by 2000, so eventually some person will just do that.

Galaxy, not Solar System. There are a lot of planets in our galaxy that you’ve probably never heard of

This planet isn't in our solar system. We've found 6,053 exoplanets already, so it's a safe bet that there's lots more of them than you're aware of
