Roman’s scans of the sky will uncover thousands of exoplanets beyond our solar system, including types of planets never surveyed before.īeyond these two primary goals, Roman will probe a range of additional astrophysical and planetary science topics such as stars in neighboring galaxies, supermassive black holes in faraway galaxies, cosmic nurseries where stars and planets come to life, and small bodies in our solar system. Set to launch in the mid-2020s, the Roman Space Telescope will measure light from other galaxies and search for mysterious celestial objects such as rogue. Using a wide field instrument, Roman will survey billions of galaxies and catch the light of stellar explosions in a quest to solve the mystery of dark energy, which is causing the universe’s expansion to speed up. It is amazing the science we can now dream of doing, now that we have Webb, said Tommaso Treu of the University of California, Los Angeles, a member of the protocluster research team. Roman will provide a panoramic field of view that is 200 times greater than Hubble's infrared view, leading to the first wide-field maps of the universe at space-based resolution. Roman will combine the power of imaging and spectroscopy in synergy with other observatories to gain fresh insights into the universe through focused surveys and General Astrophysics observations. The Roman mission is currently targeted for launch by May 2027. The Roman Project is currently planning for observatory launch in late 2026. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a Hubble-sized telescope that will revolutionize astronomy by building on the science discoveries and technological. A new simulation of millions of galaxies has shown just how powerful the forthcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will be when it opens its eye to the universe. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a Hubble-sized telescope that will revolutionize astronomy by building on the science discoveries and technological leaps of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes.
