Roman Space Telescope to map the cosmos and hunt for new worlds
TL;DR Summary
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch from Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, delivering a wide-field view at least 100 times larger than Hubble to map billions of galaxies and stars, search for thousands of exoplanets, and study dark matter and dark energy, generating about 1.4 terabytes of data per day; first images come after a three-month commissioning, and once science operations begin the data will be publicly available.
