Anyone remember February 15, 1997?

That was the day the centaur Chariklo was discovered, what was the general mood then? Did they think they'd found a new planet?

I'm new BTW! So hi!

I've forgot actually
It's around half the size of Ceres and reprensents the object both clasified as asteroids and comets.
Chariklo's surface has been suggested to be a mixture of tholins (like those detected on Titan and Triton) with amorphous carbon.

now I remember

2. Why did you use "keep finally discovering"?

 

Yes, I know what a centaur is, but here's something I bet you don't know: how long is Chariklo's day?

Uhhh... if you remember (if it's not too much trouble), mind telling me?

 

And only now I remember to say hi back so hello
Chariklo's rotation isn't known aperently
