metaphorgeA distant, icy rock whose discovery shook up the solar system and led to Pluto's planetary demise has been given a name: Eris.
The christening of Eris, named for the Greek goddess of chaos and strife, was announced Wednesday by the International Astronomical Union. Last month, the professional astronomers' group stripped Pluto of its planethood.
Who will be her next victim?
Ain't she pretty?
