#NASA’s newest space telescope rocketed toward orbit Tuesday to map the entire sky like never before — a sweeping look at hundreds of millions of galaxies and their shared cosmic glow since the beginning of time.⁠
⁠
SpaceX launched the #SPHEREx observatory from California, putting it on course to fly over Earth’s poles. Tagging along were four suitcase-size satellites to study the sun.⁠
⁠
The $488 million SPHEREx mission aims to explain how galaxies formed and evolved over billions of years, and how the universe expanded so fast in its first moments.⁠
