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. jpl.nasa.gov/missions/sphere…
