NASA’s SPHEREx mission will scan the sky in infrared, studying 450M+ galaxies & 100M+ Milky Way stars to uncover cosmic origins!

Join us for a live preview of the mission today at 12 pm ET. 🔭

How did we get here?
How has our universe evolved?

These are the questions SPHEREx, led by @NASAJPL, will help to uncover. By surveying 450M+ galaxies in optical & near-infrared light and exploring 100M+ stars in the Milky Way, SPHEREx will offer new insights into life and our cosmic origins. https://t.co/rFAhKjrxpT
