SPACERIUM

Have you ever wondered why our spacecrafts that have crossed the asteroid belt and gone for further exploration do not collide with these belts of millions of asteroids? There are millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt which are revolving around the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, and till date 12 spacecrafts have crossed the asteroid belt, then why does no one collide with these asteroids? Our solar system is very big, there are many members in our solar system like planets, comets, asteroids etc. and today we will talk about asteroids, asteroids are mostly found in the asteroid belt which is located between Mars and Jupiter, millions of asteroids of small and big sizes are found in the asteroid belt. Out of them more than 1.2 million asteroids are larger than 1 km in size. Elements like asteroids, dust particles, icy bodies are found in the asteroid belt. So the question is that despite such a large number of asteroids, why do our space probes not collide with them? What magic do t...

In the bustling asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter lies a world unlike any other – 16 Psyche . This celestial oddity, discovered in 1852 by Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis , stands out from its rocky and icy neighbors with a unique metallic glint.  Psyche's remarkable composition and potential role in unraveling the history of our solar system have made it a prime target for exploration. A Primeval Relic: Discovery and Location De Gasparis spotted Psyche from the Naples Observatory in Italy . It holds the distinction of being the 16th asteroid discovered , hence the number in its name.  Orbiting the Sun between 2.53 and 3.32 Astronomical Units (AU) , Psyche's path takes it roughly 2.5 to 5 times farther from the Sun than Earth.  This places it within the main asteroid belt, a vast collection of rocky and metallic debris leftover from the formation of our solar system. Uniquely Composed: A World of Metal What truly sets Psyche apart is its suspected compositio...
