Meet Chariklo, a rock only about 250 kilometres wide, floating between Saturn and Uranus. It has two thin rings, just like a miniature Saturn.
Now the Webb telescope has found something strange: its inner ring is getting thicker, while its outer ring is getting thinner. In only a few years, the two rings are evolving in opposite directions — and scientists are still trying to understand why.
Chariklo proves that even the smallest worlds in space can hold the biggest surprises.
