Chiron
2060 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. Chiron is named after the centaur Chiron in Greek mythology.

Four people have been taken to hospital after five runaway horses of the Household Cavalry threw off their riders and raced through London.
Sun (men) quincunx Pallas (horses (runaway horses of the Household Cavalry)) sesquiquadrate Chiron woundedness (three soldiers were receiving treatment for non-life threatening injuries)).
The horses, one of which was covered in blood, caused chaos as they roamed the city centre and collided with vehicles, including a double-decker bus and taxi.
They initially became spooked by loud construction during a routine military exercise in Belgravia, the Army said.
Officers said the horses had been recovered and returned to camp.

Very nice ceremony on ISS right now with Russian commander Anton Shkaplerov handing over "key" to NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn. "On orbit we are one crew. ISS is a symbol of friendship, a symbol of the future of exploration of space."
Sun (Russian commander) conjunct Chiron (common ground, personal imperative (Russian commander Anton Shkaplerov handing over "key" to NASA astronaut)). Jupiter (honorable, tolerance, higher mind, hope) quincunx Praamzius (negotiations, treaties, friends (ISS is a symbol of friendship)).
The interactions seemed 100 percent genuine and friendly. Shkaplerov only briefly referenced Earth-bound tensions, but said on orbit they were "space brothers and space sisters." It gives me some hope for the future.
Discovery
1977 UB/2060 Chiron is a minor planet in the outer Solar System, orbiting between Saturn and Uranus. Discovered October 18, 1977 by Charles T. Kowal (precovery images have been found as far back as 1895), it was the first-identified member of a new class of objects now known as centaurs (minor planets orbiting between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt).
Besides the four gas giants, Chiron and 10199 Chariklo, also a centaur, are the only bodies in the Solar System known to have rings.
Although it was initially called an asteroid and classified only as a minor planet with the designation "2060 Chiron", it was later 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. Michael Brown lists it as possibly a dwarf planet with a measured diameter of 206 km, which is near the lower limit for an icy dwarf planet (around 200 km).
