10199 Chariklo is the largest confirmed centaur. It orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus, grazing the orbit of Uranus. On 26 March 2014, astronomers announced the discovery of two rings around Chariklo by observing a stellar occultation, making it the first minor planet known to have rings. Wikipedia
Orbital period: 63 years
Radius: 93.827 mi.
Does the 93 mile radius include the rings or just the center mass? Anyone know?
Fascinating. Chariklo would make a good target for a probe, to gather samples of any material associated w/the asteroid to analyze, as well as do some visual imaging.
Hey, NASA…….
