16 Psyche is the Most Expensive Thing in the Universe

An asteroid named 16 Psyche, after Cupid’s wife, was found to be made almost entirely of iron and nickel. That means, in current US markets, 16 Psyche is worth somewhere around $10,000 quadrillion (the world’s economy is around $74 trillion).

The world’s economy right now is made up of around $74 trillion, that’s 74 with 12 zeros, and this rock is worth around $10 quintillion, which is 1 with 31 zeros.

That means this rock is over 135,000 times the value of all money in the world. To put it in simpler terms, you could buy 10 quintillion things at the dollar store with this rock.

NASA is very interested in this asteroid, and is planning to send a spacecraft to explore it, but not to make them rich, no. They only plan on studying it as it may have once been a part of an earlier planet, and may hold secrets about other worlds in our galaxy.

The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...
