He points to asteroid Psyche, a metal-rich body discovered in 1852 with a mean diameter of 140 miles. The surface shows clear evidence of multiple impact events, and those collisions may hold the key to understanding how precious metals form in the solar system. The tremendous heat, energy, and pressure released during such impacts could catalyze the formation of these rare elements. This isn't just about one asteroid. It's about the fundamental processes that concentrate valuable materials throughout the cosmos, and it challenges us to think about resource distribution on a planetary scale.
