[{ "selector": ".lklqr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".bzlsj-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

NASA's Psyche mission is a journey of an asteroid orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. [{ "selector": ".lkiar-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".zkbkx-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The mission is led by Arizona State University [{ "selector": ".xjtts-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "80%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "80%"} ] }]

The objective of the mission is to determine whether Psyche is a core, or if it is I melted material. [{ "selector": ".juilb-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - -13px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".olzoa-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".jqcll-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1250ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "80%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "80%"} ] }, { "selector": ".rjbpm-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-335px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

To determine the relative ages of regions of the psyche's surface [{ "selector": ".xwmbt-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "80%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "80%"} ] }, { "selector": ".mqslf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "2500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

To determine whether Psyche was formed under conditions more oxidizing or more reducing than Eath's core [{ "selector": ".numwb-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 39.142857142857224px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".xlneu-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".wolck-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "750ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".mbpft-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1250ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "80%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "80%"} ] }]

To characterize Psyche's topography and to explore a new type of world. [{ "selector": ".xqbln-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1250ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 53px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".rmbcf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(-386px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".aqoje-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1000ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "80%"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "80%"} ] }]
