Roman Telescope Peers Into Milky Way's Heart | Science News

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is set to revolutionize our understanding of the Milky Way’s galactic bulge, using microlensing to detect Earth-sized planets and transit methods to uncover hundreds of thousands more — including moon-sized worlds. With over a quarter of its mission focused on this dense stellar region, Roman will also hunt for stars, brown dwarfs, black holes, and neutron stars, offering an unprecedented cosmic census that could rewrite our knowledge of how planets and galaxies form. Launching soon, its full science operations begin in early 2027 — ready to peel back the veil on our galaxy’s heart.
