NASA Finds Rare Metal Asteroid and It's Worth $10,000 Quadrillion

NASA's Hubble Telescope discovered a very rare and seemingly hugely valuable asteroid called Psyche 16, which could be worth $10,000 quadrillion.

Science & Tech

NASA's Hubble Telescope discovered an asteroid made up almost entirely of rare metals, and it's worth a lot. Think, $10,000 quadrillion.

"16 Psyche," as the asteroid is called, is in our Solar System's asteroid belt, tucked neatly between Mars and Jupiter. It sits roughly 230 million miles (370 million kilometers) away from Earth, and is 14 miles wide (226 kilometers).
