In October 2023, NASA’s Psyche Mission is slated to launch toward a unique asteroid that may hold the secrets of Earth’s own formation. Comprised of metal rather than rock or ice, the asteroid Psyche offers a rare look at the building blocks of planet formation—a topic that scientists have literally only been able to scratch the surface of due to the immense depths of our planet’s metallic core.
