NASA's new teliscope searching for the origin of universe

NASA has unveiled the SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionisation and Ices Explorer) mission, a new space telescope that would begin a two-year mission in 2023 to look for life's ingredients and probe how the universe evolved.

Astronomers will use the mission to gather data on more than 300 million galaxies, as well as more than 100 million stars in our own Milky Way. SPHEREx will survey hundreds of millions of galaxies near and far, some so distant their light has taken 10 billion years to reach Earth.

"It will deliver an unprecedented galactic map containing 'fingerprints' from the first moments in the universe's history. And we'll have new clues to one of the greatest mysteries in science: What made the universe expand so quickly less than a nanosecond after the big bang?," NASA said.
