Asteroid Chiron

credit - Wikipedia
Asteroid Chiron was discovered on November 1, 1977 at the Palomar Observatory by astronomer Charles Koval. Later, in observatories in other countries, earlier photographs were found on old space images, but no one singled it out and it remained unnoticed. Astrologers believe that the discovery of a planet occurs when humanity is ready to perceive its radiation, and at the same time it becomes more active. Perhaps that is why he was not identified in these photographs. When studying the asteroid, the question arose about its classification. It turned out to be too large for an asteroid, but too small to be called a planet, and was later found to exhibit behavior typical of a comet. Since he showed duality with all his appearance and behavior, it was decided to name him in honor of the centaur Chiron. Which had the body of a man to the waist, and below the body of a horse, which also personifies duality.
