The latest space telescope in NASA towards orbit on Tuesday to draw the entire map of the sky as it did not happen before – a comprehensive look at hundreds of Millions of galaxies And their joint cosmic glow since The beginning of time.
Spacex California’s SPAREX SPAREX Observatory, put it on its way to fly over the pillars of the ground. The signs were along four satellites the size of a sunbutt bag.
The SPAREX $ 488 million mission aims to explain it How galaxies were formed More than billions of years developed, and how The universe expanded quickly In his first moments.

Closer to the house in our Milky Way jar, SPHEREX will search for water and other ingredients for life in the ice clouds between the stars in which new solar systems appear.
The conical field will take a cone-shaped-to 1,110 pounds (500 kilograms) or the large piano weight for six months to draw the entire map of the sky with its infrared eyes and the field of wide vision. Four full polls have been planned for two years, as the telescope revolves around the world from the pole to the pole 400 miles (650 km).
SPHEREX will not see galaxies with great details such as the larger and most detailed space telescopes in NASA, with the areas of narrow vision.
Instead of calculating or focusing galaxies, SPHEREX will notice the total glow produced by the entire group, including the oldest property that was formed in the wake of the big explosion that creates the universe.
“This cosmic glow picks up all the light on the cosmic history,” said the chief scientist Jimmy Book at the California Institute of Technology. “It is a completely different way to look at the universe,” scientists have been able to see the light sources that you might miss in the past.
Bok said that by monitoring collective glow, scientists hope to get the light out of early galaxies and learn how they came.
“We will not see the big explosion. But we will see the following and get to know the beginning of the universe in this way.”
Infrared detection devices in the telescope will be able to distinguish between 102 invisible colors of the human eye, which leads to the most colored and complete map ever of the universe.
The deputy director of the project, Beth Fabinsky of NASA’s jet laboratory, said he is similar to “looking at the universe through a group of glasses with a rainbow.”
To maintain the super -cold infrared detectors – minus 350 ° F (minus 210 ° C) – SPHEREX has a unique look. It features three aluminum cones, one inside the other, to protect from the sun and the terrestrial heat, which resembles a 10 -feet shield collar (3 meters) for a sick dog.
Besides the telescope, the Falcon from Spacex presented an elevator from Vandinberg’s space base for a group of NASA satellites called PUNCH. From their separate polar orbit, satellites will monitor the sun enlargement or outer atmosphere, and the resulting solar winds.
The evening launch was delayed two weeks due to missiles and other cases.
