📢By studying the origins of the universe, it will contribute to NASA's broader goal of uncovering cosmic mysteries and searching for conditions that could support life elsewhere.*
Shaped like a megaphone, the upcoming mission will map the entire sky in infrared light to answer big questions about the universe.
6 Things to Know About SPHEREx, NASA's Newest Space Telescope
AI Overview
Learn moreSPHEREx, short for "Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer," is a NASA mission focusing on the origin and evolution of the universe, expected to see "first light" (i.e., capture its first cosmic image) within six months of its launch, which is slated for later this month, March 12, 2025.
Great! Here we are.
SPHEREx... it's more than a play on the ten ("X") Sephirot, which is in the form of a tree of life diagram:
The sefirot are the ten spheres on the Tree of Life.
Each sefirah (singular of sefirot) represents a different aspect of the Divine,
as well as aspects of human consciousness and existence.
10. Malkuth (kingdom)

Malchut -- Kingdom, [of David] is Sphere X, 10.
SphereX -- Manufacturer Ball Aerospace & Technologies
Play ball --
סְפֵירָה f.n. PBH 1 ball. MH 2 sphere, any of the ten potencies or agencies of the divine manifestation (a term of the ‘Kaballah’ (sic)). NH 3 environment. [From Gk. sphaira (= ball, globe, sphere), which is of uncertain origin. cp. the second element in אַטְמוֹסְפֵירָה, טְרוֹפּוֹסְפֵירָה, יוֹנוֹסְפֵירָה, סְטְרָטוֹסְפֵירָה, פוֹטוֹסְפֵירָה.]

SphereX
The Moon symbolizes the Kingdom of David, so as far as mega malchut sphere x announcements go, Columbia ("dove") launched the Eagle to Tranquility Base.
That's one small step for man
One giant leap for mankind
Splashdown date of the dove Columbia: Tisha B'Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar that became a day of great joy across the entire world.
During splashdown, Columbia landed upside down but was righted within ten minutes by flotation bags activated by the astronauts.

Also as far as mega announcements go, "David" [דוד] = 14, and yesterday's SphereX launch day marked 14 years since the undersea megathrust earthquake and tsunami.
The "irrelevant" stuff people miss, even when DAVIDSON is mega-visible from I-565, ALT-72 (חסד Chesed "loving kindness" = 72, see above diagram) the "Ohr Mashiach" [565 = אור משיח] Messianic Light highway in Huntsville:

*There's ALWAYS a song:
Oh, they tell me of a home where my friends have gone
Oh, they tell me of that land far away
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance through the unclouded day
Oh, the land of cloudless day
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day..
"If it sounds Country, Man, that's what it is. It's a Country song." ~ Kris Kristofferson
