NASA's SPHEREx Telescope Launches and Spanish Fossil Discovery Alters Human History

NASA launched the SPHEREx telescope to explore the universe's origins and search for water in the Milky Way. Meanwhile, fossils in Spain suggest a potentially new human species, altering our understanding of early European history.

NASA has successfully launched its SPHEREx telescope from California, embarking on a mission to delve into the origins of the universe. This ambitious project also aims to uncover hidden water sources within the Milky Way galaxy, potentially illuminating conditions necessary for life.

In a parallel development, Spanish archaeologists have unearthed facial bones estimated to be between 1.1 million and 1.4 million years old. Found in the Sima del Elefante cave near Burgos, these fossils may belong to a previously unidentified human species, offering new insights into Europe's ancient past.

The discoveries underscore significant progress in space and archaeological science, promising to reshape our understanding of the cosmos and human evolution.
