Let's Explore a Metal-Rich Asteroid 🤘
Between Mars and Jupiter, there lies a unique, metal-rich asteroid named Psyche. Psyche’s special because it looks like it is part or all of the metallic interior of a planetesimal—an early planetary building block of our solar system. For the first time, we have the chance to visit a planetary core and possibly learn more about the turbulent history that created terrestrial planets.
Here are six things to know about the mission that’s a journey into the past: Psyche.
1. Psyche could help us learn more about the origins of our solar system.
After studying data from Earth-based radar and optical telescopes, scientists believe that Psyche collided with other large bodies in space and lost its outer rocky shell. This leads scientists to think that Psyche could have a metal-rich interior, which is a building block of a rocky planet. Since we can’t pierce the core of rocky planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and our home planet, Earth, Psyche offers us a window into how other planets are formed.
2. Psyche might be different than other objects in the solar system.
Rocks on Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Earth contain iron oxides. From afar, Psyche doesn’t seem to feature these chemical compounds, so it might have a different history of formation than other planets.
If the Psyche asteroid is leftover material from a planetary formation, scientists are excited to learn about the similarities and differences from other rocky planets. The asteroid might instead prove to be a never-before-seen solar system object. Either way, we’re prepared for the possibility of the unexpected!
3. Three science instruments and a gravity science investigation will be aboard the spacecraft.
The three instruments aboard will be a magnetometer, a gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer, and a multispectral imager. Here’s what each of them will do:
Magnetometer: Detect evidence of a magnetic field, which will tell us whether the asteroid formed from a planetary body
Gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer: Help us figure out what chemical elements Psyche is made of, and how it was formed
Multispectral imager: Gather and share information about the topography and mineral composition of Psyche
The gravity science investigation will allow scientists to determine the asteroid’s rotation, mass, and gravity field and to gain insight into the interior by analyzing the radio waves it communicates with. Then, scientists can measure how Psyche affects the spacecraft’s orbit.
4. The Psyche spacecraft will use a super-efficient propulsion system.
Psyche’s solar electric propulsion system harnesses energy from large solar arrays that convert sunlight into electricity, creating thrust. For the first time ever, we will be using Hall-effect thrusters in deep space.
5. This mission runs on collaboration.
To make this mission happen, we work together with universities, and industry and NASA to draw in resources and expertise.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the mission and is responsible for system engineering, integration, and mission operations, while NASA’s Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Services Program manages launch operations and procured the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
Working with Arizona State University (ASU) offers opportunities for students to train as future instrument or mission leads. Mission leader and Principal Investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton is also based at ASU.
Finally, Maxar Technologies is a key commercial participant and delivered the main body of the spacecraft, as well as most of its engineering hardware systems.
6. You can be a part of the journey.
Everyone can find activities to get involved on the mission’s webpage. There's an annual internship to interpret the mission, capstone courses for undergraduate projects, and age-appropriate lessons, craft projects, and videos.
You can join us for a virtual launch experience, and, of course, you can watch the launch with us on Oct. 12, 2023, at 10:16 a.m. EDT!

putting trumpets in a metal song feels like cheating. I have never heard a metal song with trumpets that wasn't an absolute banger
someone just said "bring me the horizon are at their best when they're just weird as fuck" and i couldn't agree more. i know some people don't like their new style, but in my opinion it slaps and i love that they're blending everything they've done before in their latest songs

Got to see Slipknot three days ago in Paris, annnd I wanted to draw a lil Joey 🥁
holy fuck they were incredible live
pictured above: my friend just before his first hxc show :)
i dream of a cleansing wave; set me free.

(this will be updated…)
i can’t be the only trans guy who loves dominating other men in the mosh pit.
mosh pits were made for fags.
someone needs to make a southern gothic sasscore concept album i think. i fear that person has to be me.
actually lowkey shut off and distant until someone mentions my interests or hating the government. especially my interest in hating the government.
i need to make music right the fuck now or i’m gonna end my shit
got the fragility cd signed & a t shirt
bulletsbetweentongues today hellyeah
oh yeah. i designed this poster for bulletsbetweentongues btw.
if your band name isn’t at least 6 words long and all lowercase with no spaces… i’m not moshing.
holy shit i’m seeing deadbeat nightlife this saturday. the realization is setting in.
you must resist despair -
@fordiretragedy (my band)
insane thrift haul the other day… going to make a utility belt outta the belt i found… (all of this(plus a ton more…) only cost about $40??)
got these patches at a beautiful live performance done by the amazing kiss of judas (kissofjudas.tx on instagram) already sewed one onto my pants and the other i’m putting on a jacket.
decided to just take a picture while wearing my newly repaired pants, because i love them so much and i don’t want to take them off (they need to be washed so bad…)
full patch pants update coming soooon.
been fixing the crotch for my patch pants recently bc i ripped em down the center 🙏🙏 that’s why i haven’t posted them yet…
found on a patch from t shirt slayer, then through a reverse image search.
i got so bored and had a random huge spike of energy and spent 30+ hours making this picrew :’)
enjoy !!
