    Eris (minor-planet designation 136199 Eris) is the most massive and second-largest dwarf planet known in the Solar System. It is also the ninth-most-massive known body directly orbiting the Sun, and the largest known body in the Solar System not visited by a spacecraft. It is measured to be 2,326 ± 12 kilometers (1,445.3 ± 7.5 mi) in diameter. Eris is 27% more massive than dwarf planet Pluto, though Pluto is slightly larger by volume. Eris's mass is about 0.27% of the Earth's mass.

    Eris was discovered in January 2005 by a Palomar Observatory–based team led by Mike Brown, and its identity was verified later that year. It is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) and a member of a high-eccentricity population known as the scattered disk. It has one known moon, Dysnomia. As of 2014, its distance from the Sun is 96.4 astronomical units (1.442×1010 km; 8.96×109 mi), roughly three times that of Pluto. With the exception of some comets, Eris and Dysnomia are currently the second-most-distant known natural objects in the Solar System (following the November 2015 discovery of V774104 at 103 AU).

    Eris (simulation)

    Eris is a computer simulation of the Milky Way galaxy's physics. It was done by astrophysicists from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Zurich, Switzerland and University of California, Santa Cruz. The simulation project was undertaken at the NASA Advanced Supercomputer Division’s Pleiades and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre for nearly eight months, which would have otherwise taken 570 years in a personal computer. The Eris simulation is the first successful detailed simulation of a Milky Way like galaxy. The results of the simulation were announced in August 2011.

    Background

    Simulation projects intending to simulate spiral galaxies have been undertaken for the past 20 years. All of these projects had failed as the simulation results showed central bulges which are huge compared to the disk size.

    Simulation

    The simulation was undertaken using supercomputers which include the Pleiades supercomputer, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre and the supercomputers at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The simulation used 1.4 million processor-hours of the Pleiades supercomputer.

    Eris

    by: Garretti

    E' forte il disprezzo per chi ci comanda
    produce consumo alle nostre libert?
    ma tu non puoi cadere nella loro trappola
    ci? che dai ? ci? che vuoi non dimenticare...
    Non distrugger con un gesto ci? che abbiamo fatto gi?
    Non lasciarti trascinare dall'irrazionalit?.
    Rivoluzionare noi stessi per cambiare la realt?
    Ma uniti insieme con le nostre mani, fino alla vittoria
    Chi infrange la lotta nella violenza
    sacrificher? se all'altare perch?
    il sangue ha per tutti lo stesso colore
    sia per chi lo versa che per chi lo pianger?
    ci? che dai ? ci? che vuoi non dimenticare...
    L'odio ? la merce di scambio
    che corrompe ogni umanit?
    cos? non cambier? il mondo
    resterai sotto controllo...
