United KingdomNASA is preparing to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, scheduled for late August, which aims to address major astronomical questions such as the origins of the universe, its composition, and its evolution. Named after NASA's first chief astronomer, Nancy Grace Roman, the telescope was originally a spare spy satellite converted for scientific use. Unlike the James Webb Space Telescope, which focuses on detailed observations of individual objects, Roman is designed to survey large portions of the sky quickly. Equipped with the Wide Field Instrument and a coronagraph, it will capture infrared light and block out starlight to observe distant celestial objects more efficiently. The telescope's capabilities include detecting billions of galaxies and studying dark matter and dark energy, which remain significant puzzles in astrophysics.
