The spacercraft is targeted to arrive at Saturn's moon Titan in 2034.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft collected the first close-up images and other data as it passed 650 miles away from the asteroid.

The moon base is "a central component of NASA's Artemis program" and is designed to establish the first sustained presence on the moon.

The rock, named 16 Psyche, potentially has a core of iron, nickel and gold worth $10,000 quadrillion.

The selfie was captured on March 11, the 1,797th day of the rover's mission.
