The Psyche mission will arrive at the asteroid in 2026.
NASA is closing in on the launch of an ambitious mission to probe an asteroid worth an estimated 10,000 quadrillion dollars.
Subsequent observations, however, hint that Psyche is most likely made up of a mix of rock, iron and nickel. The blobs of material are the first building blocks of planets and it’s thought they were plentiful in the early universe.The core of our own world is hidden beneath miles and miles of mantle and crust, making it nearly impossible to study.
We’ve known about Psyche 16 for a while, but its potential to cause havoc on Earth was recently touched upon by a veteran miner.
