We all know how expensive a metal gold is. If someone has a kilo-2 kg of gold, he is called rich, so imagine what would happen if a store of gold is found at some place? You too must have thought at some point or the other that there is such a place where gold is only gold! Many people also asked this question on the internet, the answer to which we are giving you.
You will be surprised to know that there is such a minor planet in the solar system on which there is only gold. Scientists also call it “Gold Planet”. The interesting thing is that this is not actually a planet but the soil here is actually gold. It is not a planet but is kept in the category of asteroid because it is actually a piece of a meteorite. Scientists had discovered it years ago, research on which is ongoing.
This asteroid is a storehouse of gold
This asteroid was discovered by Italian astronomer Annibale De Gasparis on March 17, 1852. However, it was not known at that time that it was filled with gold. When the planet was studied with advanced technology, it was revealed that it is a gold mine. This minor planet named 16 Psyche revolves around the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Its core is made of nickel and iron. Apart from this, there is a large quantity of platinum, gold and other metals on it. It is considered to be the heart of a dead planet, which if distributed equally, then everyone among the 8 crore population on earth would be a billionaire.
how much gold is there on the planet
Psyche also revolves around the Sun and takes about 5 Earth years to complete it. It takes more than four hours to rotate once on its axis, which is equal to one day of one cycle. The value of the minerals present in asteroid 16 Psyche is said to be more than trillions. It is believed that if all its gold comes to earth, it will make every person rich by $93 billion i.e. Rs 763 billion. NASA has sent a mission to it on October 13, 2023, which is for its study. It will reach Psyche’s orbit by July 2029.
