Can Planet Joxer Be Far Behind?
While the focus of this article was on whether a small planetoid or large asteroid can be called a planet, I found the most significant item to be that a recently discovered large body this side of the Kuiper belt will most likely be called Xena.
In two hundred years, will Xena be considered by many to be an actual part of the Greek pantheon? If so, how soon will it be until planets are named Gabrielle or Joxer?
