James Webb telescope detects signs of rust on priceless, metal-rich asteroid Psyche
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have detected a component of water in the form of rust on the metal-rich asteroid Psyche.
This discovery offers new insights into the asteroid’s composition and formation.
Psyche, a large and unusually shiny asteroid in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, was once thought to be entirely metallic and potentially the core of a planetesimal.
However, recent data suggests it is a mix of metal and silicate.
The detection of hydroxyl units, a component of water, supports the presence of rust, likely formed by water-bearing asteroids impacting Psyche.
While the JWST didn’t find a definitive water signature, the findings open up possibilities about the asteroid’s history and composition, Live Science has reported.
