Chiron , as the strange centaur is called, is a large asteroid-comet hybrid that orbits between Neptune and Jupiter .
Based on observations by the James Webb Space Telescope , it has a mixture of ice and gases that could teach us more about the birth of our solar system.
Chiron is a long way away from us, and while its orbit will bring it just inside Saturn , it won’t get that close for another 20 years .
