Dwarf Planet previously known as Xena will now have an official name, Eris.

I like how, in a nice little bit of irony, that the moon that was nicknamed Gabrielle will now be called Dysomnia - The spirit of "Lawless"ness.

My Siberian Husky, Xena, is very upset that they are taking away the honor of having a planet named after her. She will be writing her congressman.

I am more impressed that your congressman might have recognized the change than that your husky can write O:)

Does the new classification mean that Pluto, Ceres, and Eris get to wear heavy armor without affecting their orbital rate?
