Summary:
- NASA's SPHEREx mission is a new space telescope that will conduct an all-sky survey to study the origins of the universe, the formation of galaxies, and the conditions that lead to habitable planets.
- SPHEREx will map the entire sky in 96 different color bands, allowing it to detect specific molecules, including water and organic compounds, that are important for the formation of life.
- The mission will provide new insights into the early universe and the evolution of galaxies, as well as help identify targets for future missions that could directly study potentially habitable exoplanets.
