This animation is has nearly 900 colored triangles, which fly around the screen and come together in different ways to make multple images. The video starts with the asteroid (16) Psyche. It then shows Annibal de Gasparis, the discoverer of Psyche. Triangles making up his face then shift to create a telescope, which looks up at a round planet. Text on the screen explains that Psyche is thought to be a planetary core that was exposed to collisions from space debris. The accompanying animation shows stripping of the outer shell of a planet, revealing the asteroid Psyche. The video explains Psyche is made mostly of nickle-iron, which is part of why it's unique. The video ends with facts on the Psyche Mission, such as its launch in 2022, estimated arrival date of 2026 and its data collection phase from 2026 to 2027.
