2003 UB313 has been renamed Eris, the Greek Goddess of Chaos and Confusion. Eris is larger than Pluto, and would be the tenth planet if things had been decided a little differently. This gives a strong Discordian flavor to the dwarf planets. Eris is now recognized as the 17th largest object in the solar system, just ahead of Pluto, and just behind numbers 10 through 16, Ganymede, Titan, Callisto, Io, Luna, Europa, and Triton.
