Two Rings for Asteroid Chariklo

APOD: 2014 April 9 - Two Rings for Asteroid Chariklo
"In a surprising discovery announced two weeks ago, the distant asteroid 10199 Chariklo was found to have at least two orbiting rings. Chariklo's diameter of about 250 kilometers makes it the largest of the measured centaur asteroids, but now the smallest known object to have rings."
