The Dwarf Planet Eris

09.18.06.1568

The official name of 2003 UB313 has been declared as Eris, after the Greek Goddess of strife and discord. The dwarf planet had been popularly named Xena, and its moon; previously named Gabrielle, has been now officially named Dysnomia, after the daughter of Eris who was a demon of lawlessness.

Befitting names for what was once referred as Planet X, existing outside of the solar system in the Scattered Disk, just beyond the Kuiper Belt as a SDO.

The dwarf planet and moon are saturated with methane, suggesting that living there would probably be really bad… full of strife… and discord… and lawlessness. :laughing:
