Hubble telescope gives closer look at rare asteroid worth $10,000,000,000,000,000,000...Space mining is getting closer to becoming a reality, and Canada could play a major role

"There's an extremely rare metallic asteroid lurking between Mars and Jupiter, and it's worth more than the entire global economy. Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has given us a closer look at the object, which is worth an estimated $10,000 quadrillion.

A new study this week in The Planetary Science Journal delves deeper than ever before into the mysteries of the asteroid 16 Psyche, one of the most massive objects in the solar system's main asteroid belt orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, about 230 million miles from Earth. It measures about 140 miles in diameter — roughly the size of Massachusetts."

"On Oct. 13, NASA launched a mission to an asteroid called Psyche. It's the largest known metal-rich asteroid, worth an estimated $10,000 quadrillion US. While there is no technology in place now to mine it or even bring it close to Earth where it could be mined, that is the dream of many startup space mining companies."
