The educational comic explains the relevance of the Psyche Mission: exploration and the opportunity to potentially gain insight on planetary cores. The information is delivered in a light-hearted manner with jokes like the "That's Hot" meme. Exploration is pictured as space, deep-sea, cave, and forest exploration. The illustrations in the comic are done in a clean graphic style, similar to the styles found in editorial illustrations.

About the work: Several people working on the Psyche Mission expressed their desire for a way to educate the public about what the mission is about and why it is important. Thus, this informational comic explains the relevance of the Psyche Mission in a light-hearted manner. While the colorful illustrations paired with the text makes it more intriguing for the viewer, the jokes and colloquial language are intended to be informal and less like a lecture. Ultimately, I illustrated the exciting objectives of exploring a metal world and the possibility of learning more about planetary cores.
