Between Mars and Jupiter drifts a shattered world, the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche. Could this bizarre object be the exposed core of an ancient planet?
Now, NASA’s Psyche Mission is on its way, travelling hundreds of millions of kilometres to study this mysterious object up close. It’s the first time humanity will visit a world made largely of metal, a remnant that may once have been the heart of a planet that died billions of years ago.
Could Psyche truly be a planet’s exposed core? Or does it tell a different story, one written in molten iron, silicate rock, and the violent history of planetary creation?
This video was made by a human, researched, written, narrated and edited by hand.
