NASA’s SPHEREx and PUNCH missions have launched on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. SPHEREx will map 450 million galaxies to help understand what happened after the Big Bang, while PUNCH will observe the sun’s outer atmosphere to study how mass and energy become solar wind. The missions are part of NASA’s efforts to explore space and further our understanding of the universe. The launch took place on March 12, 2025, and represents a significant step forward in space exploration.
