NASA plans to conquer metal planet in the near future

NASA's Goddard Space Center said it is planning to conquer metal planet in the near future.

According to NASA's Goddard Space Center, the agency is expected to have a metal planet exploration, in the next few years. Through the discovery of the metal world will help scientists better understand the Earth and other metal asteroids.

To implement this bold plan, a spacecraft will accelerate with a flight to Mars and then to the asteroid, also known as Psyche, possibly in early 2026.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the asteroid Psyche   Is there really a metal core surrounded by old land, learn about the age of the surface and the topographic classification on this asteroid.

Planets filled with rare metals and gems in outer space always receive a lot of interest from the scientific community. Under infrared exploration technology, researchers have discovered quite a few planets.

Previously, scientists have discovered two planets filled with metal, WASP 12b (Diamond Planet) and HD219134b - Planet contains many rubies.

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has discovered a distant planet, 1,200 light-years away from Earth. This planet filled with metals and gems is scientifically known as WASP 12b.

Under infrared exploration technology, experts say that although most of the above material, the planet is in the form of hydrogen gas, the WASP 12b planetary part contains a lot of graphite-like compounds, crystalline carbon structures and needles. outline.

Meanwhile , HD219134b is considered a super-Earth that is 5 times heavier than our planet but has a smaller density. In general, the planet's surface is rich in aluminum oxide - a component of many precious stones, especially rubies.
