Scientists discover unique trait on metal-rich asteroid
- Researchers identified a water component on the mysterious – and priceless – asteroid 16 Psyche, suggesting that hydration exists in the form of rust."Spectra from the infrared region, at long wavelengths that we perceive as heat but can't see," showed signs of the OH molecule, or hydroxyl units, which form part of water, as reported by Live Science.
Nasa's Psyche spacecraft took off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. Scientists are particularly interested in learning more about the asteroid Psyche because of its mysterious composition. It has an irregular, potato-like shape, and at its widest and longest points, measures 173 miles wide and 144 miles long.
