About Me

I pretty much rock. I messed with astronomers everywhere when they discovered me. Basically, I'm bigger than Pluto, so they immediatly called me a planet. Unfortunatly, I'm actually a trans-Neptunian Object located in the Kuiper Belt (aka the scattered disk). To top it off, im the reason Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore.
Also...theres a little confusion around my name I'd like to clear up. I'm NOT Xena. Apparently it was rumored before i was discovered that the next planet after Pluto would be called "Xena". The reasoning: because they always wanted to name something Xena. Sweet. Secondly, I'm not Lilah. Thats the guy who discovered me's daughter who was born like 3 weeks later. He used her name in my first web site. Oh, and they almost named me Persphone, but some other mass had that and once they decided i wasnt a full planet i couldnt have that name.
Either way...I'm pretty amazing. And i've got this crazy, 44 degree orbit and I'm pretty eccentric, if you know what i mean.
*I'm named after the goddess of strife and discord. thats pretty badass.*
Oh, and, dont come too close. Methane is pretty volatile, and I've got some.
