[[Chiron]] is a small Solar System body in the outer Solar System, orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus. Discovered in 1977 by Charles Kowal, it was the first-identified member of a new class of objects now known as centaurs—bodies orbiting between the asteroid belt and the [[Kuiper Belt]].

Although it was initially called an asteroid and classified only as a minor planet with the designation "[[2060 Chiron]]", in 1989 it was found to exhibit behavior typical of a comet. Today it is classified as both a minor planet and a comet, and is accordingly also known by the cometary designation 95P/Chiron. Chiron is named after the centaur Chiron in Greek mythology. 

==Rings==
Chiron possibly has rings. Based on unexpected occultation events observed in stellar-occultation data obtained on 7 November 1993, 9 March 1994, and 29 November 2011, which were initially interpreted as resulting from jets associated with Chiron's comet-like activity.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2060_Chiron Chiron wiki]</ref>
