NASA's SPHEREx space telescope launched into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
NASA's SPHEREx observatory is now in space for a two year year mission to create a 3D map of the entire celestial sky.
The telescope can capture more 360-degree strips as the Earth moves around the sun, enabling it to map the entire celestial sky within six months. SPHEREx will shed its telescope lens' protective cover in four days and will start its science operations in a little over a month once its temperature has cooled down. It will gather data to help us better understand how the corona turns into solar wind, which could lead to accurate predictions of space weather events affecting spacecraft orbiting the Earth.
