THE PLANET ERIS

The Solar System has a new baby planet called Eris. It was discovered by Mike Brown, Chad Trujillo and David Rabinowitz. It has a moon named as Dysnomia. It was discovered in 2005. Its distance from the Sun is 96.4 AU. Eris appears to be larger than Pluto but is not. Now let me show you a picture of Eris:

Eris is the tenth  planet (including Pluto) Otherwise ninth. Eris and Dysnomia are known to be the most distant known natural objects in our Solar System. Eris is called the New Earth and Dwarf Planet. Eris was named after the Greek goddess. (Epic). Eris was named on 13th of September. Eris has an orbitical period of 557 years. In 2005 the diameter of Eris was measured to be 2,397. Now let us have a look on Eris' surface:
Unlike the blueish Pluto Eris is almost Pink.Mr Brown named the planet's moon's name Dysnomia because it was similar to his wife's name Diane. Brown's team nicknamed the moon Gabrielle. I have a big interest in Eris, don't you?
