Read the below statements: 1. NASA launched a space telescope, SPHEREx, to study the universe's "cosmic glow". 2. The Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment (MACE) telescope was inaugurated at Hanle, Ladakh. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Statement 1 and 2 both
The question gives two statements about recent space and astronomy developments and asks which is/are correct.
Statement 1 says NASA launched a space telescope called SPHEREx to study the universe's 'cosmic glow'; this is correct.
SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) surveys the entire sky in infrared light to map the collective glow of galaxies and trace cosmic history.
Statement 2 says the Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment (MACE) telescope was inaugurated at Hanle in Ladakh; this is also correct.
MACE is a gamma-ray telescope set up at one of the world's highest observation sites in Hanle, and it is among the largest such instruments in Asia.
Because both statements correctly describe real, recent developments, neither is to be dropped.
Hence the correct answer is Statement 1 and 2 both.
