NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is now fully sealed inside its SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, poised for launch and ready to revolutionize astronomy. Set to blast off August 30 at 7:26 AM EDT, Roman will hunt for thousands of new exoplanets while unraveling cosmic mysteries like dark matter, dark energy, and the accelerating expansion of the universe. Encapsulated at Kennedy Space Center, the telescope will ride to a stable orbit at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point two — offering an unobstructed view of the cosmos.
