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 (Bernardinelli–Bernstein) and it has a similar perihelion point just outside the orbit of Saturn.
