Eris is a large dwarf planet beyond Neptune's orbit. From the launch date it would probably be the best part of 15-30 years, depending on the position of Eris. The New Horizons space probe was launched in January 2006 to investigate Pluto, which is a similar distance (29.7 - 49.3 AU). It should get to Pluto by the middle of 2015, even with an original speed of 36400 mph, and a gravitational boost from Jupiter.

Eris' orbit is fairly eccentric, so at its closest it will be 37.7 AU (earth to sun distances - Astronomical Units). At its furthest it is 97.5AU.

How long does it take Eris to oribt around dysnomia?

Eris takes about 16.5 Earth days to complete one orbit around its moon, Dysnomia. This relatively short orbital period is due to Dysnomia's proximity to Eris and the gravitational influence of its larger companion. The dynamic between the two celestial bodies offers insights into their formation and the characteristics of trans-Neptunian objects.
