TL;DR Summary

NASA's Psyche spacecraft, on its way to the asteroid Psyche, has captured and beamed back its first images, revealing a field of stars in the constellation Pisces. The spacecraft's twin cameras took a total of 68 images, which were stitched together to create a mosaic. The images will help determine the composition of the metal-rich asteroid and create 3D maps to understand its geology. Psyche is expected to enter the asteroid's orbit in July 2029.
