NASA’s Spherex telescope lifts off to scan 300 million galaxies
NASA’s newest space telescope blasted off on Tuesday via SpaceX from California, set to map the entire sky and millions of galaxies, orbiting over Earth’s poles.
The $488 million mission launched to map the sky and millions of galaxies, aiming to reveal how they formed and evolved over billions of years since the universe began.
Spherex will map the sky and millions of galaxies by observing their collective glow, capturing all light emitted since the Big Bang, unlike Hubble’s detailed narrow views.
