SPHEREx will scan over 99 per cent of the sky each six months. By distinction, Hubble has noticed about 0.1 per cent of the sky in additional than 30 years of operations, in accordance with Nasa.

The SPHEREx mission could have some similarities with the James Webb Space Telescope. But the 2 observatories will take dramatically completely different approaches to finding out the sky, in accordance with Nasa.
