Psyche is one of the most singular asteroids in the main belt. It is thought to be the core of a
Vesta-sized planetesimal, exposed through collisions. Based on spectra, radar surface
properties, and bulk density estimates, it appears to be a world not of ice or silicate rock, but
of iron. By understanding its nature, we can glean insights into the differentiation of
planetesimals, the growth of planets, the composition and structure of a planetary core, and
the geology of a metallic body. For all of these reasons, and its relative accessibility to low …
