Computer illustration of the dwarf planet Eris (left) with the Sun (upper right) in the distance. Eris, formerly 2003 UB313 or Xena, is now thought to be smaller than previously estimated and about the same size as Pluto. Its surface is extremely reflective and probably covered in frost formed from the frozen remains of its atmosphere.
