NASA Space Telescope "SphereX" Successfully Launched into Space

The NASA space telescope "SphereX" (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) was launched into space by a SpaceX "Falcon 9" rocket in California, as shown by NASA live images. The launch had been postponed several times before.

Hope for New Discoveries from NASA Space Telescope "SphereX"

"We are the first mission to look at the entire sky in so many colors," said NASA scientist Jamie Bock. "Whenever astronomers look at the sky in a new way, we can expect discoveries." Researchers hope that "SphereX" will provide new insights into the formation of the universe and aid in the search for ice and organic molecules. Along with "SphereX," the mission "Punch" (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) was also launched - four small satellites that will study the solar wind.
