NASA's newest astrophysics space telescope launched in March on a mission to create an all-sky map of the universe. Now ...

NASA’s SPHEREx mission, which launched in March 2025, is poised to transform our understanding of the universe. By creating ...

American space agency NASA says the SPHEREx telescope has begun returning science data, and it will all be shared with the ...

Each of the thousands of pictures the satellite takes each day is passed to six detectors, which produce a unique image focusing on different wavelengths of light. SPHEREx can analyze images in ...

NASA launched the SPHEREx Space Observatory this year on March 25 — and the first results are in. The orange-hued image was taken at an infrared wavelength of 3.29 micrometers, capturing a cloud ...

SPHEREx’s 25 month survey will be a comprehensive one. The spacecraft “orbits Earth from north to south, passing over the poles, and each day it takes images along one circular strip of the ...

After a six-week calibration period, NASA’s Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer—mercifully shortened to SPHEREx—has begun its two ...

NASA’s SPHEREx, which will map hundreds of millions of galaxies across the entire sky, captured one of its first exposures March 27. The observatory’s six detectors each captured one of these ...

"It's performing just as it was designed to." SPHEREx will begin routine science operations in late April, NASA said. At that time, the space telescope will begin taking about 600 exposures a day.

SPHEREx works differently than space telescopes like the Hubble and James Webb, NASA said. It takes a broader view of the sky than previous models, and will map the entire celestial sky four times ...
