This is just so cool!10th Planet Has A Moon
Excerpt:
"Since the day we discovered Xena, the big question has been whether or not it has a moon," Michael Brown, of the California Institute of Technology, said in a statement.
"Having a moon is just inherently cool -- and it is something that most self-respecting planets have, so it is good to see that this one does too."
And the moon is called... Gabrielle!!!! Hahahaha!
Check out this funny Blogcritics article:
Excerpt:
Forget naming planets after mythological gods and goddesses. Now we're mining pop culture.
Personally, I think that the names we have for them say a lot about our culture. Planets (with the obvious exception of our own Earth) have always been named for legendary figures. Xena and Gabrielle certainly fit the bill there. No matter what, I think we'll end up calling the planet Xena, and the moon Gabrielle, to the eternal consternation of professional astronomers.
