Summary:
- NASA's SPHEREx mission aims to create the most detailed and comprehensive map of the entire sky ever made, capturing the infrared light from over 300 million galaxies.
- The mission will study the origins of the universe, including how it evolved and what caused the first stars to form, by analyzing the light from these galaxies.
- SPHEREx will also search for water and organic molecules in regions where stars and planets are forming, providing insights into the conditions that may have led to the emergence of life on Earth.
