If astronomers could study space in more colors, they’d gain a better understanding of cosmic physics and planetary science. That’s the goal of NASA’s SPHEREx mission, imaging the sky in 102 ...

SPHEREx will look out at the sky, surveying the optical as well as near-infrared light. That light is invisible to the human eye but is a useful tool for exploring the universe: it will give ...

SPHEREx is slated to launch Feb. 27 on a SpaceX rocket. It is meant to map the entire night sky in infrared — something even the JWST can't exactly do.

Once SPHEREx is already in orbit, it will observe and collect data on over 300 million galaxies, some as far as 10 billion light-years away from Earth, and 100 million stars in our own Milky Way ...
