  Psyche is a NASA Discovery-class mission to map the surface and characterize
  the composition of '16 Psyche', an elongated 280-km diameter metal-rich 
  asteroid located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. This 
  is the first mission to a metal-rich asteroid.

    Unfortunately I missed it when it was close enough to see the modulation. These plots were when it was about 1.41Mkm from Earth.
