SPHEREx blink

Real SPHEREx data, not a simulation

What is here

Over time

One SPHEREx image per visit, shown in turn: stars stay still, something that moves jumps.

SPHEREx sees infrared light the eye cannot. Each button shows the same spot in another infrared colour; some objects only show in one of them.

What changed between two visits

The last visit minus the first. Still stars cancel out; something that moved leaves a blue spot (where it was) and a red spot (where it is now).

Verdict

What the images say about this spot, and how fast something would have to move for us to notice it.

Small print

For those who want to check: the image on screen, quality flags, the technical numbers, the data release and the sources.
