Centaur (small Solar System body): Characters & Regions

In planetary astronomy, a centaur is a small Solar System body that orbits the Sun between Jupiter and Neptune and crosses the orbits of one or more of the giant planets. Centaurs generally have unstable orbits because of this; almost all of their orbits have dynamic lifetimes of only a few million years, but there is one known centaur, 514107…
