What is Psyche’s story? One scenario is that long ago, a planetesimal that had separated internally into a rocky mantle and iron core suffered violent impacts that stripped away its mantle, leaving only core material. The mission to Psyche may be able to tell us about how planets everywhere form and about what’s inside the Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
