The so-called 10th planet – which was discovered on January 5th of 2005 and which caused the demotion of Pluto to dwarf planet status—was officially named Eris on September 13th of 2006.  The name was suggested because this dwarf planet, like its Greek namesake, caused much discord and strife among the astronomical community.
