Eris, being a planet, likes to travel far and wide. Let's see how far she can go.
Eris, the largest dwarf planet known, was discovered in 2003 by Mike Brown at California Institute of Technology. In Greek mythology, Eris is the goddess of warfare and strife. She stirs up jealousy and envy to cause fighting and anger among men. In the astronomical world, Eris stirred up a great deal of trouble among the international astronomical community when the question of its proper designation led to a raucous meeting of the IAU in Prague. At the end of the conference, IAU members voted to demote Pluto and Eris to dwarf-planet status, leaving the solar system with only eight planets.
