Published 2 days ago
Description
The Psyche probe just zipped past Mars on a gravity-assisted flyby, snapping stunning new images and testing its instruments against the Red Planet’s rugged surface and polar ice. Now speeding up by 1,600 kph and realigning its orbit, it’s on track to reach the mysterious metal asteroid Psyche by summer 2029 — where it’ll map what could be the core of a lost planet, unlocking secrets of Earth’s own interior.
