Nasa's Roman telescope flying to space today. Here's all you need to know

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch today aboard SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch, scheduled for 4:56 PM IST, marks the beginning of a mission aimed at expanding scientific understanding of the universe. Once in space, the telescope will travel to the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point (L2), approximately 16 lakh kilometers from Earth, where it will conduct observations over a five-year period. The telescope's unique feature is its wide field of view, which allows it to survey large areas of the sky more efficiently than previous telescopes like Hubble. It will focus on studying dark energy and dark matter, galaxy evolution, and exoplanets. Additionally, it will test a coronagraph instrument to directly image planets around other stars.
