A pathway leads to the Psyche asteroid in a collision with another asteroid body. The collision is bright, illuminating other asteroids around Psyche. Gaseous clouds surround the collision. Two scientists in lab coats stand at the beginning of the pathway, gazing towards this spectacle of a collision.

About the work: The Psyche asteroid is hypothesized to be the remains of an early planetary core that became exposed via collisions that stripped away its outer layers. In this illustration, I wanted to convey the beauty of space exploration, and how visiting Psyche could help us discover the origins of the Earth. I have also envisioned what this illustration could look like as a hero image for an article about the mission.
