El telescopio espacial más nuevo de la NASA despega para mapear todo el cielo y millones de galaxias
NASA has launched its newest space telescope, the $488 million Spherex, which blasted off to map the entire sky and survey millions of galaxies. The Spherex mission aims to explain how galaxies formed and evolved over billions of years and to investigate how the universe expanded so quickly in its first moments. By producing a full-sky map that includes millions of galaxies, Spherex will gather the observational data intended to address questions about galaxy formation, long-term cosmic evolution, and the rapid early expansion of the universe.
