A stellar occultation that took place on October 18, 2022, made it possible to study asteroid Chariklo observing its rings as well, a truly peculiar feature for such a small object. A team of researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to capture Chariklo’s passage in front of a star from Webb’s point of view. The NIRCam and NIRSpec instruments enabled images and spectrographic features of Chariklo to be obtained. In recent days, the NIRISS instrument had a software problem that blocked the transmission of the collected data but no hardware failures were found, therefore it’s possible that the data will be recovered later to complete an in-depth study of this asteroid.
