Allow us to reintroduce ourselves… The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA’s next space observatory, set to launch as early as fall 2026. Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, #NASARoman will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than NASAHubble. This field of view will help us better understand many cosmic mysteries including dark matter and dark energy. It will revolutionize our understanding of the universe by revealing countless cosmic objects, from stars and planets to galaxies and black holes. The telescope will be heading a million miles away to Lagrange point 2 along with fellow telescope, NASAWebb. Check out to stay up to date on the mission!

What makes NASA Webb Telescope and #NASARoman so different is what makes them the perfect team to help us reach a common goal: a better understanding of the universe and everything in it. Webb's focused field of view enables more concentrated observations deep into the universe, while Roman will conduct larger, faster, and shallower surveys of the cosmos. Learn more about their differences: Make sure to stay tuned for the next video about how the telescopes will survey the universe.

Two telescopes…one universe…many mysteries to unfold. The NASA Webb Telescope space telescope is taking the astrophysics community by storm. Once Roman launches, it will survey the universe at great speeds and have a view 100 times larger than Webb's! But why do we need both? Check out Far vs. Wide, a four-part series coming up over the next few weeks.

A million miles from Earth, LaGrange point 2 enables uninterrupted, consistent viewing of the universe. NASA Webb Telescope’s ability to peer deep into the universe, studying galaxy formation across all stages, and #NASARoman’s ability to capture large swaths of the universe in one image make them the perfect pair for astronomers to explore nearly every stage of cosmic history. Learn more about how they will survey the universe: Make sure to stay tuned for the next video about exoplanets.
