Roman Telescope Launches to Unlock Cosmic Secrets | Science News

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has blasted off aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, poised to rewrite our cosmic story. Set for a million-mile perch at the second Lagrange point, this powerhouse observatory will tackle dark energy, dark matter, and hunt for new exoplanets — potentially shaking up everything we know about the universe. With survey capabilities rivaling Hubble and Webb, its data will be so vast it could fill hundreds of thousands of HD screens. Though commissioning takes time, first science is expected by late November — and astronomers are already bracing for revelations that could redefine astronomy.
