Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a next-generation observatory that will peer through dust and across vast stretches of space and time to survey the infrared universe. The mission will help us solve some of the most profound mysteries in astrophysics, such as how the universe has evolved, its ultimate fate, and whether we are alone. Roman’s enormous field of view and fast survey speeds will allow astronomers to observe planets by the thousands, galaxies by the millions, and stars by the billions. The mission also aims to help illuminate two of the biggest cosmic puzzles: dark energy and dark matter.
