Clasification of astronomical centaurs

The main orbital feature of the astronomical centaurs is its high eccentricity. Most of the astronomical centaurs are objects with orbits in transition. Their orbits are unstable because they cross the orbits of the giant planets without being protected by resonances. Their astronomical lives are of the order of 10 to 100 million years; very short, although spectacular.

There are six types of astronomical centaurs due to the situation of its perihelion, aphelion and semimajor axis:

1. Survival centaurs, they are related to the physical body, biological functions and also with emotions and the survival instinct. Their orbits are connected to the Earth-Moon system, Mars and the main belt.
