@NASA's Psyche mission to a metal-rich asteroid. Account managed by the Psyche team @ASU. Official NASA communications: @NASASolarSystem.










Right now, NASA's #MissionToPsyche is approaching Mars. Current distance: 29,780 miles Current speed relative to Mars: 10,340 mph This simulated view, based on actual trajectory data, comes from our Eyes on the Solar System experience. Ride along: eyes.nasa.gov/apps/solar-sys…


NASA’s #MissionToPsyche – on its way to explore a rare, metal-rich asteroid – is about to get a speed boost from Mars. 🚀🏁 On May 15, spacecraft will harness the Red Planet’s gravitational pull as a slingshot to increase its speed and adjust its trajectory. 1/2

Several @NASA and @ESA orbiters and rovers at Mars will be making observations during the Psyche flyby. Comparing these measurements will help the team calibrate their instruments, and support planning for future spacecraft approaching Mars. More: go.nasa.gov/4tsCLPQ

#MeteorSighting: A fireball was observed by witnesses in the western U.S. on Sunday night, March 22. The meteor was first spotted above the California town of Chowchilla. It traveled south at 35,000 mph before disintegrating above Calflax. This fireball does not appear to be related to other recent bright meteors. 🔗 go.nasa.gov/4btbPd1 Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society
