The US space agency NASA has discovered such an asteroid, which is made entirely of iron. There is so much iron in it that if it is brought to earth and sold to iron, then every man will get around 1 billion pounds i.e. 9621 crore rupees. NASA has named it 16 Psy.
The total cost of iron on this entire asteroid is around 8000 quadrillion pounds, ie 15 zeros behind 8000. According to the British magazine The Times, 8000 quadrillion pounds (8,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds) means that every person on earth will get 1 billion pounds i.e. 9621 crore rupees.
The asteroid has a diameter of 226 kilometers. It revolves around our sun in five years. Its day is 4.196 hours. Its weight is only about 1 percent of the weight of the Moon, but the entire asteroid is of iron. It is present between Mars and Jupiter.
