NASA’s new telescope will create ‘most colourful’ map of cosmos ever made

MELBOURNE: NASA will soon launch a new telescope which it says will create the “most colourful” map of the cosmos ever made.

The SPHEREx telescope is relatively small but will provide a humongous amount of knowledge in its short two-year mission.

It is an infrared telescope designed to take spectroscopic images – ones that measure individual wavelengths of light from a source. By doing this it will be able to tell us about the formation of the universe, the growth of all galaxies across cosmic history, and the location of water and life-forming molecules in our own galaxy.
