Gallery Type: Artwork from Psyche Inspired

A circular stained-glass panel shows the Psyche spacecraft passing close to Mars. The planet glows in layered reds, oranges, and golds, while the spacecraft appears in lighter metallic tones against dark space. The warm colors surround the craft briefly, suggesting a close flyby before it continues into the darkness beyond.
