Summary:
- The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a next-generation NASA observatory designed to address critical questions in dark energy, exoplanet science, and infrared astrophysics.
- Equipped with a wide-field instrument that provides a field of view 100 times greater than the Hubble Space Telescope, it will enable unprecedented surveys of the universe to map the distribution of matter and the history of cosmic expansion.
- The mission serves as a technological bridge toward future efforts to directly image Earth-like exoplanets by utilizing advanced coronagraphic technology to suppress starlight.
