London: NASA has made a big discovery, which can give a huge amount of 1 billion pounds to all the people living on Earth. However, the focus of scientists is not on this amount but on improving their understanding of the universe. Actually, NASA has discovered a new asteroid, which has a huge reserve of precious metals. The price of the metal present on the asteroid is theoretically $10 quintillion (£8,000,000,000,000,000,000). Imagine what will happen if such a precious metal comes to Earth.

16 Psyche asteroid

Last month, NASA sent a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket to investigate an asteroid called 16 Psyche. They are extremely happy with the samples and results collected because they estimate that there is a lot of metal present there.

Platinum and Palladium

According to scientists, there are deposits of metals called platinum and palladium on the asteroid. It is possible to bring it to Earth. This metal is used in making cars and electronics. Both of these are considered extremely valuable metals.

M-type asteroids

It is one of the largest M-type asteroids known and is currently located far from Earth. However, it is currently approaching our planet and is traveling in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Forecasts say it will reach there by July 2029.

30 to 60 percent metal

Experts don't have full details yet, but the asteroid is thought to be 30-60% metal and has a surface area of ​​about 64,000 square miles.

People will not benefit, and inflation will increase.

All this sounds very good, but experts say that the economy will be ruined overnight. This will benefit the super-rich even more and everyday prices will skyrocket. However, scientists say that their motive is not profit. Rather, they want to know about the planets and the metals present in their cores. They believe that this discovery will help them understand the universe and its properties more clearly.
