      Two questions in one 🙂

      I am sure there are many unfound planets. Astronomers frequently find new objects.

      Being a scientist can sometimes be hard work but, since I enjoy my work, I do not mind. The thrill of solving a problem makes it worth it.

      Q1) I think there is still plenty more out there especially since we can’t “see” the entire universe. As Marina said, lots of things are found everyday and if you want you can even get a star named after you. To name a planet you would probably have to find it yourself though.

      Q2) It can be hard work being a scientist. Sometimes you are faced by a problem and you simply cannot think of an answer and it feels like you are going around in circles. I am sure you know that feeling. But hen you suddenly find the answer and it is very rewarding and worth it then! At least the problems I have to think about I get to pick myself, so I am interested in them and in finding the answer 🙂
