NASA has launched the SPHEREx telescope, an infrared space telescope that will rival the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).SPHEREx will scan the entire night sky four times, collecting data from more than 450 million galaxies during its two-year operation.The telescope will help scientists gain insights into galaxy formation, the origins of water, and the early universe.SPHEREx will complement JWST by flagging interesting regions for further study.
