NASA’s latest space telescope was launched in orbit on Tuesday with a mission to create an unprecedented map of the entire sky, which observes millions of galaxies and their collective cosmic luminesns since the onset of the universe.
Spacex launched Spherex Observatory from California, set it on a polar orbital path. Four compact satellites with missions to study the Sun. Spherex first separated from the upper stage of the rocket, flowing into space with the Earth that appeared in the background.
Spherex Mission, cost of $ 488 million, tries to understand Galaxy manufacture And check for development in billions of years, and rapid expansion of the universe in your early moments.
Within our Milky Way Galaxy, the spherex interester will discover water and other life-essential elements in the clouds where new solar systems develop.
The cone -shaped sphres, which weighs 1,110 pounds (500 kg), is equal to a grand piano, will spend six months in creating a full sky map using its infrared sensor and wide area. The telescope is ready to conduct four full sky survey in two years from its 400 miles (650 km) polar orbit.
The infrared detector of binoculars will separate 102 colors invisible in human eyes, which will be the most widespread Cosmic map Ever produced. The telescope is to maintain its infrared detectors to maintain a 10-foot (3-meter) protective shield to maintain a three nested aluminum-honeycom cone in minus 350 ° F (Minus 210 ° C) to maintain its infrared detectors in minus 350 ° (minus 210 ° C).
Unlike NASA’s Hubble and Web Telescope, with its concentrated ideas, spherex will not capture wide images of individual galaxies. The binoculars will inspect cumulative light from all galaxies, including formed shortly after. Gentle explosion,
Jamie Bok, chief scientist at the California Institute of Technology, said, “This cosmological glow captures all the light emitted on cosmic history.” The purpose of scientists is to identify light from early galaxies by studying this collective light. “We will not look at Big Bang. But we will see after this and learn about the beginning of the universe.”
Meanwhile, Bath Fabinski of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, deputy project manager said, “It is” like looking at the universe through a set of rainbow colored glasses. “
In addition to this space telescope, SpaceX Falcon Rocket also launched four NASA satellites called Panch from Wandenberg Space Force Base. These satellites will study the sun’s corona and solar wind. Launched after two weeks of delay due to technical issues.
