Jessi introduces you to some of the most newly-named members of the solar system: the five dwarf planets! Jessi te presenta a los 5 planetas enanos del sistema solar

Picture by/Imagen de Christina Balit Eris was the goddess or of strife, discord, contention and rivalry. She was often represented specifically as the demon of the strife of war, who haunted the battlefield and delighted in human bloodshed. She was the sister of Ares and usually attended wars with him. Eris' Roman counterpart was Discordia. Because of Eris' disagreeable and trouble-maker nature she was the only goddess not to be invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Despite of that, she turned up anyway, and when she was refused admittance, she, in a rage, threw a golden apple amongst the goddesses inscribed "To the fairest." Three goddesses laid claim it, and in their rivalry brought about the events which led to the Trojan War. _____________________ Eris era la diosa  de la lucha, la discordia, la contención y la rivalidad.

In the following link, you will find an entertaining tour through the Solar System, with allits major bodies. It's interesting to see in scale the distance between planets. Note that Eris is called Xena (provisional name when it was discovered). Makemake and Haumea had not yet been classified as dwarf planets when this program first saw the light. Hope you like it.

Es interesante ver "a escala" la distancia entre planetas. Observad que Eris es llamado Xena (su nombre provisional cuando fue descubierto). Makemake y Haumea aún no habían sido catalogados como planetas enanos cuando se realizó este programa. Espero que os guste. Para dar el paseo, pincha aquí: Paseo por el Sistema Solar

Eris, Makemake and Haumea are dwarf planets located behind Pluto, in areas of the solar system known as scattered disk and Kuiper Belt. They are known as dwarf planets likewise Ceres and Pluto, but unlike these two have not been seen in sufficient detail to show that completely fit the definition of planets. Eris has a mass larger than Pluto and Makemake and Haumea are still under investigation. Besides these three bodies fall into a new category called "plutinos" or "trans-" by many. Although the IAU does not specify a specific name, are often referred to by the abbreviation TNO (Trans neptunian object). This category of objects similar to Pluto only applies to dwarf planets if they are trans-Neptunian objects and their periods, inclinations and eccentricity are similar to those of Pluto and therefore are on the scattered Disk, the Kuiper Belt or the Oort Cloud. In addition, there are a few bodies who are candidates for recognition as "dwarf planets" ...
