[서화목] A mineral asteroid with 70,000 times the global gross domestic product discovered

A mineral asteroid with 70,000 times the global gross domestic product (GDP) has been discovered.

According to the Journal of Planetary Science, the Southwest Research Institute, a private U.S. space exploration research institute, said it found a new asteroid "16 Psyki" through the Hubble Space Telescope, CNN reported.

Located between Mars and Jupiter, the 16-Sike is one of the largest objects in our solar system, approximately the same length as Massachusetts (except Cape Cod) with a diameter of about 225 km.

Although the exact composition of the 16-cyclical remains unclear, scientists believe the asteroid may be mostly made of iron and nickel. The institute estimated that a piece of iron on the asteroid was worth about $10,000 trillion, more than the global GDP ($142 trillion). The asteroid is worth $10,000 Quadrillion (19 wins), 70,000 times the global GDP. The won is 113 won.

Scientists believe that the 16 psychedelic is the metal core of an early planet, where the mantle and crust were separated by a collision that may have occurred in the early days of the formation of the solar system.

NASA plans to send an unmanned spacecraft to Saiki 16 in 2022.
