"Neptune, Pluto... Xena and Gabrielle?
CBC News
Astronomers say Saturday that an icy, rocky object that might be the solar system's 10th planet has its own moon. Scientists have dubbed the possible planet Xena and its much smaller satellite, Gabrielle.
They made the discovery on Sept. 10 using the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii."
Oh my.. I still can't believe it. That'll be really cool if they did name the 10th planet and its orbiting moon Xena and Gabrielle. Two of my favorite TV characters of all times. It's so good to see that astronomers have a sense of humor.
For those of you who has not heard about Xena the warrior princess, where have you been? Just google Xena on the web, never too late to catch up.
