"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 short two-year mission.
It is an infrared telescope 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 all galaxies
across cosmic history, and the location of water and life-forming molecules in
our own galaxy.
In short, the mission – which is scheduled for launch on February 27, all
things going well – will help us understand how the universe came to be, and
why life exists inside it."
