Fwd: NASA Day in Review: SPHEREx Takes First Images

FYI re NASA:
For my PBS project, Touching the Sun I attend a monthly webinar with NASA‘s HEAT (Heliophysics Educational Activation Team) —essentially outreach activities for the many new helio missions (Parker Probe, PUNCH, EZIE, IMAP, Caruthers etc.). I learned that NASA has frozen all non-essential mission travel for all NASA employees for the foreseeable future.
I sensed this is hamstringing a lot of their work. Nothing derogatory was said publicly because this webinar is taped.
