This is the asteroid Psyche, it has been the subject of study by the MIT technicians and they have managed to make the most accurate map of the surface of this asteroid, by the way, this asteroid is the one that the media periodically talk about saying that it is the asteroid with large gold reserves that multiply our amounts of gold and platinum the most valuable asteroid and the treasure we have in the solar system and certainly if it is a metallic asteroid and has large amounts of metals especially iron.
The important thing about a protoplanet is not so much the diameter, but rather that it begins to differentiate thanks to gravity the layers where the denser materials are concentrated in the center and also gravity makes them rounded, the above is The map that MIT has made of this asteroid is one of the images of this science week, since it was well believed that Psyche was that metallic core of an ancient proto planet that was destroyed during the beginning of the solar system.

It was believed that it was the core of a protoplanet that was destroyed at the beginning of the solar system, there was talk of a planet the size of Mars that was destroyed and that its core is precisely this asteroid that remains metallic, although from the latest research that has been they have done, because there is a lot of doubt about that theory and it is thought that it has an evolution similar to that of other asteroids, although recent research does not explain why it has so much metal either, it is something that we will know in a few years, since NASA is going to send an explorer ship that will be launched no earlier than September 20, 2022 and is expected to reach the asteroid in early 2026.
