Perhaps this would have been the core of a planet created in the orbit of the asteroid belt had Jupiter’s gravitational influence not prevented it?
A friendly reminder to all Wonderful Persons: Tomorrow is the Starship SN8 test flight! 🚀 It’s gonna be history in the making. Don’t miss it!
Hello Wonderful Anton :o)
Earlier today I watched the Overy Sarcastic video about the legend of Eros and Psyche. What an odd co-incidence! Is the universe trying to tell me something?
2:44 Beautiful 💋💋love u💋💋
Pretty interesting!!! 😃
Mining bacteria, activate! 😬
I like a bit of heavy metal. TFS, G
Would be a little IRONic if THIS was the asteroid that took us out… because, one way or the other, humanity will probably be destroyed by it’s own Psyche🤷♂️
I wonder what would happen of we added it’s mass to earth and how it would affect it’s orbit
Psyche may be = a core of a broken up planet.
Mysterious metal from a former core of a protoplanet… THAR BE GOLD YE MATEYS!
Damn it, I’ll probably be dead by then! Not cool
With that high a percentage of Iron, it seems reasonable to me (for what that’s worth) that it was part of something big and the rocky parts went away. Not something that formed as we see it now.
This should be the first mining expedition in space
Its always very important to explore our psyche. Also very crisp video.
For rust to accur there has/had to be small parts of oxigen and water on/in it, is my guess..
That’s the mother lode! Of precious metals!
You’ve got some cool discoveries lately 😍
Pssst, Alexander thought there were no more frontiers.
Ok in love with you ✨
I’m curious about your astronomy education. How did you get so ,seemingly, well informed about the subject? I like your videos. Keep it up!
Asteroid mining is one of those jobs that will be automated before it exists.
It would be awesome to bounce around Psyche in a space suit! As long as you didn’t jump yourself into orbit.
5,20. You say asteroid twice when you should have said meteorite
I hope I make it to see space wild west. Prospectors, outlaws, bounty hunters.
Just kidding, it will all be done by robots.😭
When SpaceX agreed to launch NASA’s Psyche probe, I wonder if Elon told them they would be manufacturing Starships on Psyche by 2026.
Aww how cute, it’s such a cute core of a Planet destroyed by some astronomical disaster
Wow, they psychoanalyzed an asteroid? Cool!
The title demanded this :
Ss she okay ? Who knew that there was ward of psychiatric Astrophysicists !!!!
Patroclus: Potato
Menoetius: Potato
Eurybates: Shoe
everything inside me says this is a piece of debris from our moon’s formation. a chunk of early earth.
I have nothing to back this up, just a gut feeling
Saturn and Jupiter will eat the Asteroids and by then we will be moving from Mars to Uranus. By then All the Ice Giant “eggs” will be in a spot for life.
Anton, I think you are Awesome, very articulate, and Great information!!! God bless you and your family!! Keep up the Good work!!!
Yeah, the Psyche of a 16yo is massive enough to change the orbit of nearby asteroids, as any parent can tell you.
I wonder about its magnetic field. The possibly of it being a planet core is also fascinating.
I bet the pepe energy covered the surface and caused it to rust!
I really enjoy your channel and I have learned so much. Thank you for being a wonderful person!!
Rust on psyche is by Water. Sunlight excites the hydrogen off the oxygen atom allowing iron to form the oxide by stealing the oxygen.
Hard to get around the fact that the large crater looks like blast force lines, isn’t it?
With those gigantic craters it looks like it was knocked off course several times. Interesting. Thanks for the info. :O)
Hey! You got a better greenscreen setup! Carry on with the great work!
There is some conjecture that the kuiper belt is an exploded planet if so I wonder if this is the core of it. Fascinating either way.
Our planet after its been ate up by the sun and perhaps cast out of the solar system. Would perhaps look simular
Isn’t it possible the iron oxide could have been formed if an ice comet hit it, melted, and the sun’s heat began the oxidation process?
So.. you can use gravity boots on this one (magnets). Interesting.
Could it be the actual core of a destroyed planet? From my understanting Mercury was also stripped of most of its mass almost to the core and currently the core is about 85% of its volume.
My first thought on the rust would be H2O ice.
Someday we’ll have facilities that can mine whatever materials are up there. It’ll be marvelous if I live to see it.
wait asteroid belt mysterios composition, who said protomolecule.
Maybe humans need to explore Earth first! Micro nova is coming up within decades and scientists are wondering about space rocks? Idiots!!
I didn’t know that asteroids had psyches to analyze (j/k)
Been watching for a while now and now find myself waving back at the beginning of each video. It’s become a natural habit and I don’t know why.
Anton, you are the best of the best on Youtube! Thank You, everyday!
Beltalowdas want to know your location ❌
Oh correction: Beltalowdas already know of your location✅
No aliens or facehuggers on the asteroids?
Asteroid Psyche, not as scary as I thought. I was hoping for a Tony Perkins, Jack Nicholson like asteroid only having the ability to read minds.
I would love to grab some of the metal from the asteroid and become the next king tutankhamun
I know it’s nit picking, but “unique” means ” one of a kind” , so nothing should be able to be extremely unique.
I thought this was about the psyche of asteroids.
lol you’re such a geek and an awesome dude, Anton.
Let’s drill into it and turn it into a giant armored space station 🤣
All this suspense of exploration is killing me lol. Ever feel like you should’ve been born in a space fairing race.
This is likely the core of one of our missing planets. Might make a good mining platform and space station.
In other news, the next season of The Expanse comes out next week (thanks for the reminder Anton) 👍
its name means “soul” in greek.
Phyche?! That was an awesome movie. Especially the shower scene. NO…WAIT!!……..That was with an O. Skip it.
Thanks Anton.
🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I would beat that the asteroid belt is a planet that blew up. Will be interesting if there are any signs of life on some of these pieces.
We can build Earths Bank right there! Send all Bankers to it and be war free.
you don’t need to say “this is anton”, we all know you’re the anton
Also; I always assumed it was possible that this belt was the remnant of a planetairy collision. Could this be its metal core, cooled down and solidified?
I thought the probe was going to crash so many times but it just kept getting smaller
Tesla roadster in space, stolen directly from the “Soft Landing” vignette in the original Heavy Metal movie.
If it’s entirely made if iron, can you imagine what kinds of collisions it received to make craters that huge?
Perhaps Psyche collided with an asteroid that had water ice and started the corrosion. Or some other corrosive chemical?
When I saw the first image “show me what u got”
Anyone else read this as “Astronaut psyche analysis makes some unusual discoveries” ? Just me huh…
When you’re 90% Metal and 10% Rock, you might not be a star, but you’re definitely hard-core xD xD xD
Anton could Psyche have been a planet that collided with another planet?
3:59 – Yay! ASU. Go Sun Devils!
Thankyou Anton. You certainly have me interested in this asteroid. I am looking forward to seeing what is further discovered. You are a wonderful person.
the expression is “back in the day” not days…. cute though
According to psychologists the psyche is very enigmatic lol
If I was from the Asteroid Belt, and I heard Anton call it, “the so called Asteroid Belt….,” I would be offended.
This 260 km iron ball is nothing we want close to earth… holy cow that is huge.
This seems to be one intriguing and sexy asteroid! Much more interesting than the usual grey lump of rubble most other asteroids seem to be.
“There’s gold in them thar astroiods”,
Psyche 16 is by far my favorite astroid to envision a mining operation setting up shop on
Gravely narrator voice – “Turns out the gate to hell wasn’t on Mars…”
Merci Anton
Since I moved out of the city i’ve been listening while under the stars.
It totally enhances the experience.
I would like to know the make up of that. If it was a core of a planet you can bet there is gold, silver and other heavy metals.
” That’s no asteroid! It’s a space station!! Chewie! Get us out of here!” 🚀
Remnant of a destroyed planet, wouldn’t that be cool. Yes my imagination is running riot lol.
Anton : * doesn’t present himself as always *
Everyone : Who are you whom is so wise in the ways of science?
I clicked on this thinking they were concerned about the mental well-being of celestial bodies
4:20 “Psyche – DAMMIT”
we spell the name as “psychí’ (ψυχή), means “soul”.
Bye bye Psyche, the miners are coming.
This video is so metal.
Anton’s use of the phrase “back in the day” always makes me giggle a little bit.
“… so it is most likely going to happen.”
“hold my diet coke”
