The NASA announced that officially this Thursday the scientific operations have begun at the space Observatory SPHEREx, What it means A great advance towards the discovery of new knowledge about the origins of the universe, the evolution of galaxies and the basic components of life on the Milky Way.
Over the next two years, Spherex will take approximately 3,600 daily images While systematically explores all heaven.
Spherex was released on March 11 and has been the last six weeks performing checks, calibrations and other activities To make sure it works correctly, according to NASA.
Already officially in progress, Spherex It will draw the positions of hundreds of millions of galaxies in three dimensions. The objective will be to address some of the deepest questions of cosmology, such as the origin of the universe and the evolution of its large -scale structure.
“This new observatory joins the set of astrophysical research missions that They will precede the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope. Together with these other missions, Spherex will play a key role in the answer to the great questions about the universe that we address in NASA every day, “said the acting director of the Astrophysical Division of NASA’s headquarters in Washington, Shawn Domagal-Goldman.
In its 25 months of programmed survey operations, The Observatory will complete more than 11,000 orbitsgiving about 14 and a half laps around the earth a day, according to NASA.
This will be the apocalypse: NASA already set date for the end of the world
Researchers of the NASA and of the University of Th (Japan) performed simulations with supercomputers to determine the exact moment in which life on earth will come to an end. According to the report, the process is due to the impact of the sun on the atmosphere and will be inevitable.
Although it seems a science fiction plot, the research is real. NASA scientists and the University of TH managed to calculate, with complex mathematical models, when all forms of life on our planet will be extinguished. And the deceased will be none other than The sun.
According to the results obtained, the exact year in which the Earth will be uninhabited will be the 1.000.002.021. By then, the size of the sun there will be increased Enough to generate transformations irreversible In the Earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen will become scarce and Lifesimply, It will cease to be possible.
