Xena: The 10th Planet
I can't help but be amused at the news reports about the 10th planet, and particularly in the UK's Observer Newspaper. Michael Brown, a member of the team that discovered the planet reportedly said "we have always wanted to name something Xena". How dorky is that?
Actually, I feel a bit smug about it, because now my hero will become immortal.
What's even more amusing is the allegation that a hacker found the information and threatened to leak it to the press. The Palomar Observatory website is so unattractive that I can't imagine someone choosing to hack the site unless it was for hacking homework.
Astronomers can't agree on Xena's classification, and some of them have got emotional over the proposed demotion of Pluto to "asteroid" status.
What's bad is that other people's children have to actually study this crap at school.
All Hail Xena, Warrior Princess!!!
