If you're my age, you've spent more than three decades knowing is out there, but not really knowing what it looks like. The changeover from planet to dwarf planet was a change, but I think they did the right thing, but that doesn't mean that my generation won't still associate Pluto more with Earth and Neptune than with Eris and Ceres. And I am excited, partly because my son is excited. Going from the round blur to a real picture of the outlier will be exciting.

I'm just happy there is a (dwarf) planet called Eris! My favourite goddess!
