We’ve got our starglasses on! 🤩 Roman’s Coronagraph Instrument has activated. This system of masks, prisms, detectors, and self-flexing mirrors will block out the glare from distant stars and directly image the planets and disks in orbit around them.

Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, our namesake, is sometimes called the “mother of Hubble,” but she’s really the mother of all space-based observatories! As NASA’s first chief astronomer, she supercharged space science and helped make NASA what it is today.

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!
