Beyond Jupiter - The World of Distant Minor Planets: (7066) Nessus
JOA 2024, Vol. 14, No. 1, Page 32 Author(s): Konrad GuhlAbstract: Since 2016, JOA regularly publishes portraits of objects beyond the orbit of Jupiter since such objects are prime targets for future occultation studies. This short communication on the Centaur (7066) Nessus tells the story of its discovery, the meaning behind its name and the nature of its orbit. Its size and physical properties are also discussed, these being taken from data published up to 2020.
