Researchers have examined 2060 Chiron, a celestial body orbiting between Jupiter and Neptune, revealing its unusual surface and gaseous composition.
Image Courtesy: Unsplash
It displays characteristics of both asteroids and comets and thus, has been classified as a centaur — a half-man/half-horse being from Greek mythology.
Image Courtesy: Unsplash
Observations conducted using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified CO2 and CO ice on Chiron's surface, alongside methane and carbon dioxide gases in its coma.
Image Courtesy: Unsplash
Chiron's unique properties, including its activity patterns and possible debris rings, make it an exceptional case of centaurs, as per the University of Central Florida.
Image Courtesy: Unsplash
Understanding the interplay between Chiron's surface ices and coma gases could reveal thermophysical processes affecting similar celestial bodies.
Image Courtesy: Unsplash
Scientists believe that Chiron's journey, influenced by gravitational forces, mirrors processes shaping many small bodies in the solar system.

Design - Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G has a unique butterfly effect on the one-piece sculpted glass rear panel which shines brilliantly under the sunlight.
Image Courtesy:
With the AMOLED panel and a high resolution of 1.5K, the display is sure to be one of the most interesting panels available in this price segment.
Image Courtesy:
Cameras - The handset captures sharp images in broad daylight with the primary sensor but you will notice slightly warmer colour tones with the primary sensor, which was quite odd.
Image Courtesy:
Performance - In day-to-day usage, the phone offers a smooth and fluid performance. It is also able to handle most of the casual and intensive gaming up to some extent.
Image Courtesy:
AI Features - It comes loaded with a slew of AI features, though most of them are cloud-based. There’s a mix of productivity and camera-related options that make everyday tasks smooth.
Image Courtesy:
Battery - The phone easily lasted for almost two days with moderate usage. With heavy usage, which includes watching a few episodes on Netflix, you can easily get almost little over a day's battery life.
Image Courtesy:
Verdict - The Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G offers some improvement over its predecessor but will face competition from the likes of the OnePlus 13R which offer superior performance.
Image Courtesy:
Design - Poco X7’s curved design is great and offers a premium hand feel. It’s been packed to the brim with tons of upgrades, including the best available IP ratings.
Image Courtesy:
Display - Its screen reproduces rich colours, the screen is bright, and the texts appear sharp. Sunlight legibility and viewing angles are excellent.
Image Courtesy:
Performance - Daily operations are handled smoothly by X7 and it is a capable offering when it comes to performance credentials. However, it does get slightly warm after intense gaming sessions and bloatware remains an issue.
Image Courtesy:
Camera - Daylight photos come out solid, with good colours and details intact with the primary camera. However, the bokeh shots and the phone’s ultra-wide camera are average.
Image Courtesy:
Battery - In our tests, the phone lasted for more than a day with heavy usage, where we had a couple of hours of gaming and streaming YouTube videos alongside other regular use.
Image Courtesy:
Verdict - The Poco X7 is a great value proposition for users looking to upgrade to a smartphone under Rs. 25,000.
