Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, named for NASA’s first chief astronomer, will possess a field of view at least 100 times larger than Hubble’s, enabling it to capture light from up to a billion galaxies over its mission. It can also block starlight to directly image exoplanets and planet-forming disks, conduct a statistical census of planetary systems, and address key questions in dark energy, exoplanet science, and infrared astrophysics.
