NASA to Launch SPHEREx: Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe Right After the Big Bang
NASA to Launch SPHEREx: Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe Right After the Big Bang In an exciting leap forward for space exploration and cosmology, NASA has announced the launch of SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer), a groundbreaking mission designed to explore the mysteries of the universe right after the Big Bang. This ambitious project aims to map the sky in unprecedented detail, shedding light on the origins of the cosmos, the formation of galaxies, and the distribution of matter in the universe. In this blog, we’ll dive deep into the SPHEREx mission, its objectives, the technology behind it, and why it matters for our understanding of the universe. What is SPHEREx? SPHEREx is a NASA-funded space telescope mission set to launch in the mid-2020s. Its primary goal is to study the universe’s earliest moments, just fractions of a second after the Big Bang, and to explore how galaxies formed and evolved over billion...
