Eagle Nebula
M16 · NGC 6611
Home of the 'Pillars of Creation', columns of gas and dust being eroded by nearby massive stars.
Why it matters at 0.75–5 µm
Dust pillars that are opaque in visible light become partly transparent in the near infrared.

Builds a 4-epoch × 102-channel input from real SPHEREx L2 exposures here (64×64 at 6.15″/px), then runs the ONNX model in your browser to pick the best viewing channels and score anomalies and motion. The first run at a position takes 1–2 minutes.
