The Universe Today article says that "Scientists believe the object is only 50-100 kilometers (30-60 miles) across." Despite the title of the article, this is not a minor planet.

An edit by Kheider classified 2006 SQ372 as a Centaur, basing on the classification by Marc Buie.
However, 2006 SQ372 seems not to fit the definition of centuar as from the WP article as "Centaurs orbit the Sun between Jupiter and Neptune, crossing the orbits of the large gas giant planets." - 2006 SQ372 aphelion is wildly beyond Neptune.
I undid the Kheider edit, but I want to state that the edit seems perfectly legit by itself. I just undid it to "freeze" the thing before the discussion is settled. So, is our object a Centaur, a TNO, both, or none of these? Or is the definition of Centaur wrong? -- Cyclopia ( talk) 16:07, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
It is NOT Centaur because its semi-major axis is behind Neptune. It is SDO. — Chesnok ( talk) 17:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
In the header: Its orbit takes between 22,000 and 32,000 years to complete.
In the infobox: 35607.89 a
Which one is right? Other is a range of 10,000 years and the other is exact value (significantly higher) with two decimals...

I have changed the wording some. I am not sure what numbers appear unreferenced. The infobox numbers are referenced to jpldata (reference #1) with an epoch of 2011-Feb-08 (top of the blue box). The DES/Buie numbers show an epoch of 2005/09/07 Keep in mind that in ~6 months JPL will use a different epoch. -- Kheider ( talk) 16:40, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
