Within the busy satellite tasks schedule for this year, Declare NASA officially starts to start the work of its new space telescope, “Ambassador X”, last Tuesday in a unique mission aimed at searching for the origin of the universe and drawing a map of hidden water warehouses inside the Milky Way.
The SpaceX “Falcon 9” missile had carried the space observatory to the space from the American spacecraft in California at the end of last month, and during its two -year -old mission, “Ambassador X” will collect data on more than 450 million galaxy, in addition to more than 100 million stars inside the Milky Way, providing a 3D map of the universe with 102 wavelengths Various, in an unprecedented analysis of the structure of the universe.

Study cosmic inflation and understanding the emergence of the universe
Ambassador X focuses on studying the phenomenon of cosmic inflation, a theory that assumes that the universe has witnessed a huge expansion during a small part of the second after the Big Bang, about 13.8 billion years ago, and scientists hope that this telescope will help highlight how this basic process affects the formation of the structure of the universe.
In this context, He said Phil Coringut, the world of tool at the California Technology Institute in a statement to Nature Scientific Magazine: “Ambassador X seeks to reach the origin of the universe, what happened specifically in the first first moments after the Big Bang?” The telescope will also search for the echo of the great explosion by analyzing the highlights of the distant galaxies, and this helps researchers to improve the models of the development of the universe and understand its early stages.
In addition to his cosmic mission, the X ambassador will direct his attention towards a closer scale, as he will study the “staging” areas inside our galaxy to detect the ice warehouses of water and basic molecular vehicles. Scientists believe that the ice besieged in dust granules “Al -Bin Star” plays a crucial role in the formation of stars and planetary systems. By analyzing the chemical composition of these molecular clouds, the researchers hope to understand how water and the basic elements of life are distributed throughout the galaxy.
The X ambassador will draw a water map, carbon dioxide, and the first frozen carbon monoxide on the roofs of dust granules inside the dense clouds of gas and cosmic dust. These molecular clouds are natural incubators for the formation of stars and planetary systems, which will give a valuable opportunity for astronomers to understand how water reaches planets like Earth.
The water is an essential element of life, and its presence in the “staging” space raises important questions about the possibility of life outside the Earth. The researchers hope that the ability of the telescope to discover frozen water on dust granules in these areas may help scientists determine whether the planetary systems get water while they are formed, or if it reaches them later by colliding with comets and asteroids.
The task of “Bing” .. revealing the secrets of the solar wind
In conjunction with this launch, NASA also sent a group of satellites as part of the “Bish” mission aimed at studying the solar aura, which is the outer layer of the atmosphere of the sun. This task focuses on the analysis of the solar wind, which are the currents flowing from the charged particles coming from the sun, which greatly affect the space weather and the state of the Earth.
The task consists of 4 satellites the size of a travel bag, which works together to provide an integrated 3D image of the sun’s outer cover of the sun, or what is known as the solar “wreath”, when it turns into the solar wind.
The solar wind plays a major role in the phenomena related to space weather, which may affect the work of satellites, cause disturbances in the electricity networks, and even pose a threat to astronauts. Through the exact monitoring of how the solar winds and their spread through the solar system, scientists hope to improve the ability to predict these phenomena.
