Pluto and its dwarf planet brethren have a new friend.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) announced the name of a new dwarf planet to join the existing four in the solar system.
The object previously known as 2003 EL61 is now named X , after the goddess of childbirth and fertility in Hawaiian mythology. The name was decided by members of the International Astronomical Union's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature and the IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature.
Give me X.
