Are they going to name one of its moons Gabrielle?

Apparently, scientists in California have discovered a 10th planet, farther out and bigger than Pluto - <a href="http://observer.guardian.co.uk/internat ... .html">and have named it Xena.</a>

We used to name our planets after gods...now we name them after characters from TV shows.

Haha...there are three of them actually (new "planets" in the Kuiper belt). I think at least two are bigger than Pluto.

I'll expect your paper on the significance of Xena: Warrior Princess in modern mythology on my desk by tomorrow.

My bad, only one of them is bigger than Pluto. Seems like our solar system is full of stuff...

Though it has been argued that Pluto is not a true planet; the text books won't change though.

As for naming a planet Xena, I think that's fairly ridiculous. Calisto was much more cool =)

Xena and Calisto are both from X:WP.
