167P/CINEOS, also known as Template:Mp, is a large periodic comet and active, grey centaur, approximately 66 kilometers (41 miles) in diameter, orbiting the Sun outside the orbit of Saturn. It was discovered on August 10, 2004, by astronomers with the CINEOS survey at Gran Sasso in Italy. It is one of only a handful known Chiron-type comets.
The comet nucleus (~66 km) is roughly half the size of Template:Mpl (Bernardinelli–Bernstein) and it has a similar perihelion point just outside the orbit of Saturn.

Description
Due to its high Jupiter tisserand of 3.5, and a semi-major axis larger than that of Jupiter, 167P/CINEOS is classified as a Chiron-type comet, named after the groups namesake, 2060 Chiron or 95P/Chiron, designated as both minor planet and comet.[2]Template:R/superscript
167P/CINEOS was first reported as a minor planet, designated Template:Mp, but was found to have a very faint asymmetric cometary coma.[5] Contrary to Chiron, which is the prototype object for the dynamical group of centaurs, 167P/CINEOS has no "dual status" as comet and minor planet, and demonstrates the inconsistencies in applying the current rules for designating small Solar System bodies.[6] 167P/CINEOS not only has orbital parameters similar to those of Chiron, but also a low B–R magnitude of 1.29±0.03, which places it into the group grey centaurs.[7]Template:R/superscript
In June 2039, 167P/CINEOS will pass 1.64 AU from Uranus.[2]Template:R/superscript
