SPHEREx Blink 3.0

Open the SPHEREx Blink demo

This repository carries the complete Blink 2.0 application and research tools with a restrained research interface. The source of the feature baseline is SPHEREx-Blink-2.0; the appearance and default theme are the intended differences. The synthetic demo remains clearly labelled.

Two lines of work were merged here on 10 Nov 2026 (the earlier Blink 2.0 of this repository and the branch blink-2.0 of mateibut/SPHEREx). What came from where, what was chosen where they differ, and what was not re-measured: docs/MERGE_NOTES.md.

The research workspace is in the frontend. Additional entry points include real-data results, Sky Explorer, Planet X Lab and the Solar System Simulator. Feature status and scientific limitations describe what has been verified.

Notice: this repository is a personal practice / mock project (built with AI assistance, Claude Code), started on 2026-11-05, before the NASA Space Apps 2026 hackathon (14-15 Nov 2026). It is not a competition submission.

Blink and difference of a synthetic field (invented data, not SPHEREx; the label is on every frame). Made by scripts/make_demo_gif.py.

NASA Space Apps Challenge 2026 – "Planet X and SPHEREx". Enter a sky position → see NASA SPHEREx infrared images of that spot taken on different dates, flipped like a mini-video ("blinking"). Stars stay still; things that move (nearby brown dwarfs, fast stars, asteroids) or change brightness stand out.
