NASA's Mission to Asteroid 'Psyche': Exploring the Secrets of the Solar System

NASA has launched a spacecraft on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the Solar System's enigmatic asteroid called 'Psyche'. Discovered in 1852, this celestial body has captivated scientists with its composition of iron, nickel, and rare metals. Many believe that Psyche could hold the key to understanding the formation of Earth's core. While reaching the Earth's core remains an impossible feat for humans, reaching Psyche will only take 5 years of space travel (3.6 billion km). The NASA spacecraft is set to arrive there in 2029. The value of metals present on Psyche is estimated to exceed a staggering $100 quadrillion according to conservative calculations.
