NASA Is Going to a Planet’s Core

A planet’s core may be floating in space.

NASA’s Psyche mission is traveling toward a strange metallic asteroid called Psyche — a world rich in metal that may hold clues to the hidden interiors of planets.

Most planets keep their cores buried deep inside, far beyond human reach.

But Psyche may be different.

If this asteroid is truly the exposed core of an early planetary body, it could give scientists one of the closest looks ever at the metal heart of a world.

To understand what planets are made of…

sometimes you have to leave Earth…

and chase the heart of a dead world.
