Hubble discovers tenth planet.

That's right, I'm actually making a thread. :o
Anyway, "Xena?" Did they fire their naming staff or something? I'd have given it a better name than that. At the least stay in the whole Roman mythology theme, or at the least, Egyptian or Norse.

It's not a planet, it's just debris (rocky bodies known as comets or lost moons)
They just say it's a planet because it's partially inside the planetary system.
They named it Xena some time ago. We had a thread about it but I think it was in Eyes on the World.
I thought Jebus's post said "What's next? Naming a planet after a Pokemon?" and that's actually a pretty amusing idea.
Old news. But I didn't know they named it. I just knew when they found it.
Huh.
This is the first I heard of it. Then again, I never went into Eyes on the World. *shrug*

We should demand that they name the 11th planet..........Mr. Mime.Originally Posted by Psychotic
if you read all the way to the end you'll find this:
"In time, the International Astronomical Union will designate the official name."
Of course you could always scroll down and only read the last sentence, too.
Let's send all the feminists there to die. :foot:
Yeah, I didn't finish reading the article, until after I posted it. >_>

If Xena is the same size as Pluto then they should name it Pluto 2!

Did they run out of Roman mythological figures or something? Meh. Hopefully they'll pick a better name the next time...
I demand the eleventh planet be named Joxer the Mighty.
The link is not working for me...
Anyways. I say they should call it Minerva to fit the Roman motif.
I'm suprised none of the FFVII fanboys said Sephiroth.....yeah Minerva would fit.
If your life had a face, I'd punch it in the dick.
