No, this isn’t a typo. You are seeing exactly 19 zeros behind that number one. And if you can’t read that number, it’s read as ten thousand quadrillion. I know what you’re thinking, we all can be wealthy now!

NASA got a closer look of the rare object who is referred to as 16 Psyche. Making the discovery of this rock previously, NASA is confirming more details of the asteroid. The massive asteroid is currently orbiting between Mars and Jupiter which is 370 million kilometres away from Earth.

Upon closer examination, 16 Psyche is believed to be made entirely of iron and nickel. With that said, NASA plans on taking a trip to the object to make more discoveries of the asteroid.

A spacecraft will be sent to the unique asteroid to discover the basis of a planet, (to be exact planetary cores). Moreover, the asteroid is believed to lead as building blocks of the solar system. To get more insight into what a planet consists of is always exciting.

And in case you’re wondering about the riches this object can bring us, NASA is more interested in the discoveries waiting to be made. Or, maybe you can convince them when they make the next discovery of 16 Psyche.

Want to know more about the rare asteroid? Look into 16 Psyche’s first discovery. Will you choose between its riches or discoveries?
