#NASA Completes #NancyGraceRoman #Space #Telescope, Ahead Of Schedule And Under-Budget, named after NASA's first chief #astronomer, is headed to space in September aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, months ahead of its originally planned May 2027 launch.
Roman's primary mirror is 7.9ft same size as #Hubble's but 1/4 weight, sending visible and infrared light to two sensors. First is Wide Field Instrument, 300-megapixel camera. Second is #RomanCoronagraph, a polarized sensor.

ASTRONOMY MILESTONE: Scientists have solved the 'mass-distance degeneracy' problem, using #GravitationalLensing observed from Earth & the #Gaia space telescope to pinpoint a #RoguePlanet's exact mass & location. The Saturn-sized object, 9,785 light-years away, was likely violently ejected from its star system. This confirms theories of a vast, hidden population of nomadic planets & opens a new era for #Astronomy with upcoming telescopes like #nancygraceroman
$4.3 billion #space #telescope Trump tried to cancel is now complete
#NASA’s #NancyGraceRoman #SpaceTelescope with a 7.9ft (2.4m) primary mirror, Roman will see wider swaths, enabling a cosmic census of billions of stars and galaxies near and far (on the scale of Universe). Broad vision will support research into #darkmatter and #darkenergy, thought to make up about 95% of the Universe.

Ars Technica

Modern astronomy has a new giant among its ranks.

NASA has completed the assembly of the
Nancy Grace Roman
space telescope
in the laboratories of the Goddard Space Flight Center.

The result of an ambitious project conducted piece by piece,
this new observatory is in line with the Hubble and James Webb, while displaying distinct capabilities.

Two New Space Telescopes Will Bring Dark Energy Into Focus

The ESA's Euclid and NASA's Nancy Grace Roman space telescope will work together to resolve the mystery of cosmic expansion!

Universe Today
Nancy Grace Roman space telescope could detect supermassive dark stars

The first stars of the universe were very different than the stars we see today. They were made purely of hydrogen and helium, without heavier elements to help them generate energy in their core. As a result, they were likely hundreds of times more massive than the sun. But some of the first stars may have been even stranger. In the early universe, dark matter could have been more concentrated than it is now, and it may have powered strange stellar objects known as dark stars.
