About this work
NASA's SPHEREx mission will operate in low Earth orbit, detecting hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies and creating the first all-sky spectroscopic survey in the near-infrared. This artist's concept shows the spacecraft and its distinctive conical photon shields, which protect SPHEREx's telescope from infrared light and heat from the Sun and Earth.
