So, that troublesome dwarf planet that got astronomers talking about whether Pluto should be backballed from the "planet club" as well has finally got its proper name.

Eris. I'm a little surprised they didn't go with the Latin name Discordia, given that most planets have Latin rather than Greek names. And it's not as cool its temporary name - Xena, but hey... Eris is a pretty cool name.

And its moon? Dysnomia or "lawlessness". Maybe it's the Robin Hood scholar in me, but that's an even better name.

Maybe armed with such cool names, Eris and Pluto can force their way back into the Planet Club.

You Are Lightning

Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence

You are best known for: your power

Your dominant state: performing


Behold! I am Thor! When you rub my magic hammer, it grows! All tremble at my awesome power!

Or not.
