Realistic size for an atomic pure space body
+0
−0
Space bodies like planets, asteroids and comets are formed by the remaining materials of stars explosions. Therefore they are usually made up of several elements.
There is the possibility that a particular element is prevalent. In my story I want to have a body made of >90% Fe, that will then be used as a orbiting mine.
If a body like this can exist, can it be big enough to be used as a mine?
