It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.

Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.

I mean, depending on you definition of heavenly body there are thousands of asteroids we don't know of and probably hundreds of dwarf planets. And I don't even know if we've ever seen anything in the Oort Cloud or if we just suspect it's there.

The Vera Rubin telescope will surely reveal thousands of objects we didn't know of before.
