SPHEREx is preparing to study our cosmos ✨ These early images indicate the space telescope's six detectors are working. The images aren't ready for science use but were processed to show the colors of infrared wavelengths, which are invisible to the eye. go.nasa.gov/3G14yDQ

After today's cold system departs, spring will begin in earnest across California w/much drier & warmer conditions on horizon. In fact, at the moment, ensembles are hinting at a major and perhaps even record-breaking early-season heat event in ~10 days. Stay tuned. #CAwx #CAwater
