Eris

... new, you know, whatnot.

Um, famously when they named Eris, uh, originally Mike Brown had wanted to call her Xena after Xena: Warrior Princess-

Yes, yes

... which is also fantastic.

Uh, if you know, you know.

But, uh, but Eris is the, the goddess of discord, and sure enough, like discordantly enough, Eris was the one who then ended up getting Pluto booted out of the solar system, and then demoted to, to a dwarf planet, sure enough to her name.

Yes.

So yeah, like the astronomers come up with these names and, and they, they have this set of rules that they have to do it, but they end up having astrological meaning, which is hilarious and awesome-

But decades later, astronomers began discovering many more icy worlds beyond Neptune.

Some were similar to Pluto, and one of them, Eris, appeared to be comparable in size.

Astronomers now face a difficult question.

Should all these round worlds become planets? If not, what exactly makes an, an object a planet? In 2006, members of the International Astronomical Union adopted a definition for planets in our solar system.

Pluto is not the only dwarf planet.

Ceres, located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is also a dwarf planet.

So are Eris, Haumea, and Makemake in the outer solar system.

Other distant objects may eventually join this category as astronomers learn more about their sizes and shapes.

I can understand the problem, though, of getting a robot that deep into a moon, but it's a little disheartening to think that we won't see it happen for at least, I would guess, 30 years.

Beyond the planets and their moons, we have dwarf planets like Pluto, Eris, and Sedna.

If they follow the patterns we see in the larger moons, they, too, could have liquid water oceans under their surface.

But again, we are very far from being able to prove that, too.
