The asteroid is approximately 230 million miles from Earth and is 140 miles across. Those dimensions make the asteroid roughly the size of West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>What makes <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.com\/2020\/10\/nasa-discover-asteroid-pysche-metal-10-quadrillion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">16 Psyche<\/a> so special isn\u2019t its size or distance from Earth. Rather it\u2019s that the asteroid appears to be made of heavy and immensely valuable metals. NASA says that the asteroid isn\u2019t rocky or icy like most in the asteroid belt. Rather it\u2019s almost entirely metal, just like the core of the Earth. NASA says it\u2019s not the only asteroid with metal content, but 16 Psyche could be completely made from iron and nickel.<\/p>\n<p>Estimates are that given the asteroid\u2019s size and its metal content, it could be worth $10,000 quadrillion dollars. That\u2019s too many zeros for most to put into perspective. That figure is about 10,000 times the entire global economy in 2019. Researchers harnessed the ultraviolet spectrum data captured by Hubble\u2019s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph during observations in 2017 to determine that Psyche 16\u2019s surface could be mostly pure iron.<\/p>\n<p>They do recognize that the presence of an iron composition as little as 10 percent could dominate ultraviolet observations. NASA is planning a mission called Discovery Mission Psyche that\u2019s expected to launch in 2022 using a Falcon Heavy rocket. The mission\u2019s goal is to discover more about the asteroid, including its metal content, when probe arrives in orbit in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Lindy Elkins-Tanton, the lead scientist on the NASA mission, said in 2017 that 16 Psyche is the only known object of its kind in the solar system. It\u2019s also the only way humans will ever visit a planetary core. She said that scientists could learn about inner space by visiting outer space as the asteroid is believed to be the core of a planet that failed during the early formation of the solar system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Fuente: <\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/asteroid-16-psyche-is-possibly-worth-10000-quadrillion-dollars-29645002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.slashgear.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Este asteroide est\u00e1 formado principalmente de hierro, n\u00edquel, oro, platino, cobre y otros materiales preciosos.
