Xena is a Plutoid

I was sad when Pluto was demoted to a “dwarf planet”. In fact, my dad I and I got matching t-shirts saying that “Pluto got the Booto.”

At that time, another object bigger than Pluto was found; it was called Xena. A year later, they re-named it as Eris.

Yesterday I heard that the objects that the bright and are beyond Neptune will be called Plutoids.

Here are two (or three) Plutoids. Pluto, Charon and Eris. We probably have 1000′s of Plutoids floating around beyond Neptune.

At least this way, Pluto will be remembered.
