Planet Xena

Xena actually had a planet named after her, the official name Eris. The Palomar Observatory-based team led by Mike Brown founded the second largest dwarf planet in January 2005. Experts still had to decide if it would be classified as a planet or a minor planet, and it was named Xena while awaiting the results. Unfortunately, in the end Xena was a dwarf planet and given the name Eris from Greek mythology. Still, it’s the thought that counts!
