The International Astronomy Union is meeting today to define what a planet actually is.
There appears to be two outcomes: either demote Pluto, or keep it as a planet and add several more bodies of larger size that have been found since. One of them, 2003 UB313, has been nicknamed Xena. And it has a moon, which has been nicknamed Gabrielle. As you can probably guess from the Xena entry on the list on the left, I am a bit of a fan of the show. I'm guessing I may've dropped in some people's estimation after that revelation! :)
