poor pluto. we still love you. almost as much as we love your fellow trans-neptunian object "xena," otherwise known as 2003 ub313. we love pluto because it used to be part of the club, and we love xena because (in the words of those who found it) "we have always wanted to name something xena."

(if you're actually interested in astronomical nomenclature and other such happenings, there's this from before the decision and this from today.)

also: cbc's suggest a new mnemonic device spectacular. i'm partial to "my vibrant excited magpie joyfully sings until nightfall," but i'm sure there are better ones. isn't ashley good at these?
