Just wanted to add that the official name is actually Eris, after the Goddess of Lawlessness if I remember correctly...but seeing that it was such an obvious fanboy pun to reconnect the planet's former nickname Xena (who was played by Lucy Lawless, I'm telling you that ain't no coincidence) its all good ;-)

as everone knows it is far away from our previously known solar system limits ,its obviously believed it must be below the temperatures that is lower than pluto..... but the path of the xena is very close to pluto itself...scitists have told that its temperature would be almost same as that of pluto...surface temperature of pluto is -234 degrees celcius .....and hence the approximate calculated surface temperature was -234 to -236 degrees in the newly discovered little master "xena"
