Getting to the Core

Psyche   (by John Reinhard Weguelin)
Getting to the core of a planet is usually impossible because, well, there’s a planet around it.

Not so with Psyche, a metallic asteroid that orbits “between Mars and Jupiter.”  This soul-goddess wannabe may provide clues as to how Earth’s core was formed.  She herself may be a planetary chunk.

Although Psyche’s metallic mix is theoretically worth a fortune, chances are it will never be mined by Earthlings.  If that amount of precious metal were to flood our markets, its monetary value would soon plunge.
