minor planets
for almost two centuries, from the discovery of ceres in 1801 until the discovery of the first centaur, chiron in 1977, all known asteroids spent most of their time at or within the orbit of jupiter, though a few such as hidalgo ventured far beyond jupiter for part of their orbit. those located between the orbits of mars and jupiter were known for many years simply as the asteroids. when astronomers started finding more small bodies that permanently resided further out than jupiter, now called centaurs, they numbered them among the traditional asteroids, though there was debate over whether they should be considered asteroids or as a new type of object. then, when the first trans-neptunian object (other than pluto), albion, was discovered in 1992, and especially when large numbers of similar objects started turning up, new terms were invented to sidestep the issue: kuiper-belt object, trans-neptunian object, scattered-disc object, and so on. these inhabit the cold outer reaches of the solar system where ices remain solid and comet-like bodies are not expected to exhibit much cometary activity; if centaurs or trans-neptunian objects were to venture close to the sun, their volatile ices would sublimate, and traditional approaches would classify them as comets and not asteroids.
