    Xena? Xena was hot, but it bears a remarkable resemblance to the Scientologist XENU, which is not cool. Mainly because Scientology is a joke.

    And I heard quite a while ago that they named it Sedna.

    Thats old news! And it is also known as Sedna, see you learn something new everyday! I'm deeply fascinated by space, did you know that scientists have managed to remake the sound of the big bang by using whats called the universes background? Something else to research on google there!

    I saw that name in an atlas of the solar system. I wonder why its now Xena?

    Because Sedna is a BLOODY STUPID NAME.

    You said it, the astronomers are nerds.

    Check out 2003 EL61! It's elliptical! And they named it Santa! HE DOES EXIST!

    Also, Sedna and Xena are two different planets. One is 90377 Sedna and the other is 2003 UB313.

    Europa, a moon of Jupiter (ie not a planet), has so far only been photographed and not at high resolution. There are plans to get funding in order to send some kind of mission to Europa but I don't think it's progressed very far if at all.

    Very interesting. I really want to learn more about astronomy, but I never have the time or money.

    You don't need money, just buy a book (that's the only time you need money). Or look on the web, there's tons of sites you can learn about the Universe from.

    No Internet connection either! However, I have definitely got a job now that pays well! So I'll look into it within the next few weeks, I think! The job should also make it so I can get my own connection pretty soon.

    Sure, you can look into it without cash, but you can't do as much. Though, I guess buying a telescope would be meaningless with the pollution in the north-west of England.

    Universe or galaxy? I doubt they've discovered planets outside of our galaxy, but certainly they have outside of our solar system. 184 of them.
