  1. “During its mission, Roman will discover tens of thousands of new planets, billions of galaxies, thousands of supernovae, and tens of billions of stars. And it will do all of that at a speed about 1,000 times that of Hubble… So to put it into context, what Roman can do in a month would take Hubble a century.”

  2. #NASA's next "great observatory" begins mission to widen our view of the Universe
    The new #NancyGraceRoman #Space #Telescope will extend the vision of NASA’s other famous observatories, providing a field of view 100 times wider than the #Hubble Space Telescope and complementing the groundbreaking work of the James Webb Space Telescope (#JWST). Roman is just the second NASA-led astrophysics mission to launch this century, following the launch of Webb in 2021.

  4. With the launch of the #NancyGraceRomanSpaceTelescope , here is part of a conversation for kids that I produced with #NancyGraceRoman in 2010. She explains here why she wanted to look at the stars from above the atmosphere. She’s talking to Dr. David DeVorkin, emeritus curator of telescopes at the National Air and Space Museum. #NANCYGRACEROMAN theforkiverse.com/@Spacehistor

  5. Roman post-launch press conference underway. youtube.com/watch?v=dnAJJwgpHs4
    Not about Roman, but Isaacman mentions there will be another Moon Base announcment next week.

  6. Roman is on its way! Just separated from the Falcon Heavy 2nd stage, and is on its way to the Earth-Sun Lagrange Point 2.

    It will take ~30 days to get into its halo orbit around L2, with commissioning work along the way. IIRC we can expect the first pictures/science around the turn of the year.

    Woot!

  9. Rocket Launch I actually want to watch today. Better one satellite doing science than million starlink polluting the night sky. #NancyGraceRoman

  10. I am looking forward to watching the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope tomorrow morning around 7:26am ET. #nancygraceroman #astronomy #space
