This is extremely important because this could change the way we predict earths future. The core seems to have most of the chemical makeup of our own earth, and could very well have supported life. One day this planet is going to die, its really just a matter of time. But with this new discovery we can better prepare and predict our inevitable doom.

Unique Asteroids by Jules Stowe
Recently, asteroids have made as one of NASA's top priorities. The recent discovery program of NASA's has confirmed two missions that evolve around these fast traveling rocks. "We have never seen anything like this," says one of of the scientists at ASU. The latest focus of missions is Psyche, a entirely metal asteroid that will end up being the first of its kind to be investigated by NASA. The common theory is that this space rock was once the core of a planet, much like Earth. The planet's outer layers were stripped off somehow leaving the center to drift through space. Scientist hope to investigate and learn more about what our planet may end up like in the following moths.

It is very interesting how asteroids could be the core of a planet. It definitely makes us wonder if that will be the result of Earth and how we can prepare for that. When I read this article, it made me think about if asteroids ever supported life, were they humans? I'm not suggesting like aliens, but it makes you wonder what other life forms could be out there that we haven't discovered yet.
ReplyDeleteI, too, think this is a very interesting topic. The more we learn about our planet the more we can do to try to help our own planet. We'll be better prepared for what lies ahead for the human race and our beloved planet.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. It is crazy to think that there are metal asteroids in space.I hope we can keep learning about this subject so we are able to predict earth's future.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of you. I think the more we know about where we live, the place we call home, the better off the human race will be. If we learn more, we understand and can grow from mistakes.
