Mass of dwarf planet Eris 27% greater than Pluto

I heard this, Mass of dwarf planet Eris 27% greater than Pluto, on NPR this morning.
It was Program #5235 of the Earth & Sky Radio Series with Deborak Byrd and Joel Block.
Eris also has a moon.
Through tracking the orbit of the moon around Eris, the mass of Eris was calculated.
