Aurora from Mt. Wilson, Pasadena!

The KISS Affiliate program bridges across the Caltech divisions, forming a community of the next generation of space leaders. Leaders such as Dr. Chi Nguyen, one of the 2023 KISS Affiliates. Nominations for the 2025 KISS Affiliate program are due Oct 31 🚀: kiss.caltech.edu/affiliates/202…

October's Astronomy on Tap featured a presentation by NASA JPL scientist Dr. Albert Wandui discussing the "echoes of the Big Bang", the Cosmic Microwave Background. It was a fun evening, and now the video is available to watch on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=ZIcc7w…

Love to see our mission SPHEREx featured on national news to start off 2025! Caltech NASA JPL @LaurieofMars Keck Institute for Space Studies

For those who were ordered to evacuate today please know that the Pasadena Convention Center located at 300 E Green St, Pasadena, Ca 91101 is open for safe shelter, with food and medical personnel on hand. For more information visit: chu.house.gov/eatonfire

Missed our session yesterday? SPHEREx will be at NASA Hyperwall today! Talks at 12:45pm and 1:45pm. See how we go from "wow cool images" to galaxy evolution! #AAS245 Caltech IPAC

#AAS245 LOCATION CHANGE! Our community meetup today has moved to the Brass Tap at 8:30 PM!

3rd day of #AAS245 also paper day! Super excited to share how my team combines multiple sampling techniques to optimize the detector performance for SPHEREx (spoiler alert: we met requirements!) iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…

How did we get here? How has our universe evolved? These are the questions SPHEREx, led by NASA JPL, will help to uncover. By surveying 450M+ galaxies in optical & near-infrared light and exploring 100M+ stars in the Milky Way, SPHEREx will offer new insights into life and our

NASA’s SPHEREx mission will scan the sky in infrared, studying 450M+ galaxies & 100M+ Milky Way stars to uncover cosmic origins! Join us for a live preview of the mission today at 12 pm ET. 🔭 🔗: go.nasa.gov/4hxyxBz
