2060 Chiron is a centaur object located in the outer regions of the Solar System. It is classified as both a centaur and a potential asteroid, as it shares characteristics of both categories. Discovered in 1977, Chiron was the first centaur to be identified. It orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus and has a relatively stable orbit, which takes it approximately 50 years to complete one revolution around the Sun.
