78% Informative
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that the centaur called 2060 Chiron is an oddball.
The object has a mixture of ices and gases that make it stand out from other objects in the distant outer solar system.
Centaurs are thought to have originated out in the frozen realm beyond Neptune , but later moved in-system.
Chiron 's fate will be decided over the next million years .
Jupiter 's family will scatter it in-system again, or it will be thrown back into the Kuiper Belt .
As is fitting for an object named after a figure from Greek mythology, its destiny will be in the lap of the gods.
