Goodbye, Xena and Gabrielle

If the International Astronomical Union decide to label Pluto a “dwarf planet”, that’s fine with me. They are the scientists with the doctorate-level educations. I’ll change my homeschooling curriculum so that we cover the three dwarf planets of the solar system. But. BUT. BUT!!! I really liked the name “Xena” for the planet formerly known as Planet X.
History was made. Xena and Gabrielle were so much cooler.
But after reading more on how planets were named and the traditions of space and mythology, I think I like Eris and Dysnomia. I’m glad that they finally decided on a name. Teaching the solar system to children is a difficult task when the planets have names like 2003 UB313, 2003 EL61 and whatnot.
