If you've got a telescope, even a little one, you can see asteroid (16) Psyche in the constellation Capricorn this month! @MissionToPsyche https://t.co/Y3bPoD0vzj

Thought a bunch of you might be interested in how the @MissionToPsyche spacecraft's distance to the Sun changes over cruise. "Mars" is Mars gravity assist. We re-optimize the trajectory every month, so small changes can be expected. Right now: Mission day 314! pic.twitter.com/4N1QgMUBGf

It's @MissionToPsyche mission day 321! 27.9 minutes one-way light travel time, and all's well!
