SpaceX rocket carrying NASA’s newest space telescope launches from California
NASA’s The latest space telescope rotates in orbit on Tuesday to map the entire sky, never drawing the entire sky as before – millions of galaxies and their shared universes have glowed since time began.
SpaceX launched the Spherex Observatory from California and certainly flew over the earth. Along the tag there are four suitcase-sized satellites to study the sun.
The $488 million Spherex Mission aims to explain how galaxies formed and developed over billions of years and how the universe expanded rapidly in the first moments.
In our own galaxy, Spherex will be close to home in our own galaxy, and will look for the life and other components of life in water and other components of life, a new solar system emerges between these stars.

The conical Spherex (1,110 pounds or the weight of a grand piano) will take six months to map the entire sky with its infrared eyes and wide field of view. As the telescope’s pole from the pole to 400 miles rotates the world to 400 miles, a two-year four-year survey was planned.
Spherex won’t see the galaxy with bigger, more refined details like NASA Huber and Weber Space Telescopeand narrow vision.
Rather than calculating galaxies or focusing on them, Spherex will observe the entire ray of light generated throughout the batch, including the earliest light formed after the Big Bang that created the universe.
“This cosmological light captures all the light emitted in the history of the universe,” said Jamie Bock, chief scientist of the mission. “It’s a very different way of looking at the universe,” allowing scientists to see which light sources may have been missed in the past.
By observing the collective light, scientists hope to draw light from the earliest galaxies and understand their development, Bock said.
“We won’t see the Big Bang. But we will see the consequences from it and understand the beginning of the universe in this way,” he said.
The telescope’s infrared detector will be able to distinguish 102 colors that are invisible to the human eye, thus producing the most colorful and inclusive map ever.
It’s like “looking at the universe through a set of rainbow-colored glasses,” said Beth Fabsky, deputy project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
To keep the infrared detector super cool – minus 350 degrees Fahrenheit – Spherex has a unique look. It has three aluminum alloy cones, one inside the other to prevent sunlight and earth’s heat, similar to the 10-foot shield collar of a sick dog.
In addition to telescopes, SpaceX’s Falcon Rockets A lift is provided from the Vandenberg Space Force Base for the quartet of NASA satellites called Punch. From their own independent polar orbits, the satellite will observe the sun’s corona, the external atmosphere, and ultimately the solar wind.
The evening launch was delayed for two weeks due to Rockets and other issues.
