The asteroid is called Psyche and it's found in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter .

It has so many rare elements and minerals that if they were harvested and valued on Earth at the current rate they are, it would be worth $ 10 quintillion.

It was discovered by Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis on 17 March 1852 , who named it after the Greek goddess of the soul who was born mortal and married Eros (better known by his Roman name Cupid ).
