NASA’s new SPHEREx space telescope takes its 1st cosmic images: ‘The instrument team nailed it’

You know how the James Webb Universe Stargazer’s tool is said to be revolutionizing Sun science because it can study wavelengths hidden to human eyes? Well, those wavelengths lie in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum — and on April 1, NASA announced its brand new infrared Universe Stargazer’s tool, SPHEREx, has officially opened its eyes to the cosmos as well.

This Primary Airy, as it’s called, shows that all of the spacecraft’s systems are working Only as Anticipated. “Based on the images we are seeing, we can now say that the instrument Club nailed it,” Jamie Bock, SPHEREx’s principal investigator at Caltech and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said in a statement.
