Chiron

Did you know? "A native of the Kuiper Belt formed over 4 billion years ago, Chiron was recently (at least in astronomical terms) gravitationally dislodged from there and tossed into the current closer climes. Exploring it is now much easier than if it were still in the Kuiper Belt, over three times further away." Astronomy Magazine March 2021 "Mission to Centaurs" pp. 24-31
