🚨🇺🇸SPACEX SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHES NASA'S UNIVERSE-MAPPING OBSERVATORY SpaceX's Falcon 9 delivered NASA's SPHEREx Observatory and PUNCH satellites to orbit Tuesday night from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The veteran booster, making its third flight, stuck another perfect landing at LZ-4 after sending the cosmic duo on their way. SPHEREx will map over 450 million galaxies and 100 million stars while hunting for water and oxygen signatures across the universe. PUNCH's mission: solve the mysteries of solar winds by continuously observing our sun's temperamental outbursts. Source: SpaceX

SPHEREx is mapping the sky & surveying over 450 million galaxies! To support SPHEREx, SCaN partnered with a commercial company & upgraded Near Space Network antennas. Now, SPHEREx can transmit ~20 gigabytes of data each day.

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves… The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA’s next space observatory, set to launch as early as fall 2026. Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, #NASARoman will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than NASAHubble. This field of view will help us better understand many cosmic mysteries including dark matter and dark energy. It will revolutionize our understanding of the universe by revealing countless cosmic objects, from stars and planets to galaxies and black holes. The telescope will be heading a million miles away to Lagrange point 2 along with fellow telescope, NASAWebb. Check out to stay up to date on the mission!

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has released Data Release 1 (DR1), presenting the largest and most detailed 3D map of the universe to date. This dataset encompasses information on 18.7 million celestial objects, including approximately 4 million stars, 13.1 million galaxies, and 1.6 million quasars, extending back 11 billion years. DESI, situated on the Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, aims to elucidate the nature of dark energy. The comprehensive data from DR1 not only aids in understanding dark energy but also offers insights into galaxy evolution, black holes, dark matter, and the structure of the Milky Way. Notably, initial analyses of DESI's data suggest that dark energy may not be a constant force as previously thought. Observations indicate that the universe's expansion rate, influenced by dark energy, has varied over time, challenging existing cosmological models and potentially altering our understanding of the universe's fate. The data from DR1 is publicly accessible through the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and can be explored via the Legacy Survey Sky Browser. 🌻
