Most asteroids are made of rock, but more than 150 years ago, an Italian astronomer discovered Psyche, an asteroid made of metal and next summer, NASA is sending a spacecraft to study it.
The Psyche asteroid is about 300 million miles from Earth, orbiting the sun from between Mars and Jupiter. It s shaped like a potato, with an average diameter of about 140 miles.
NASA suspects that Psyche is the exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet. If that s the case, we could potentially learn about Earth s own core and the formation of terrestrial planets like ours by studying the asteroid.
