NASA will soon launch a new telescope which it says will create the “most colourful” map of the cosmos ever made.
The SPHEREx telescope is relatively small but will provide a humongous amount of knowledge in its 2-year mission. The infrared telescope is designed to take spectroscopic images, ones that measure individual wavelengths of light from a source.
By doing this it will be able to tell us about the formation of the universe, the growth of galaxies across cosmic history, and the location of water and life-forming molecules in our own galaxy. The February 27 mission will help understand how the universe came to be, and why life exists.
