Note: To help celebrate this new telescope NASA has also launched a game, playable online at:
https://roman.gsfc.nasa.gov/game.html with just five controls, your 4 arrow keys and the space bar. đ The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope .. Information about the telescope .. https://roman.gsfc.nasa.gov/about.html 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. Romanâs enormous view of space 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. Named after pioneering NASA executive Nancy Roman, known as the âMother of Hubbleâ for helping the agency birth the legendary Hubble Space Telescope, the new observatory will dramatically expand researchersâ ability to see and study the cosmos. Roman was a formidable astronomer, and the observatory that bears her name will investigate mysteries such as whatâs causing the universe to expand and which planets exist beyond our solar system. _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
