NASA’s Roman Telescope Is About to Change How We See the Universe

Bedtime Astronomy

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is about to open a new window on the universe. With a field of view roughly 100 times larger than Hubble’s, Roman will survey enormous regions of space while investigating dark energy, dark matter, galaxy evolution, and thousands of exoplanets.

Its experimental coronagraph will also test technology for directly imaging distant worlds. Working alongside Hubble and Webb, Roman could uncover unexpected clues about how the cosmos evolved—and potentially challenge our understanding of the universe.
