  1. Big Picture Science for Sept 14, 2026: A Coup de Grace in Space

    Big Picture Science: A Coup de Grace in Space

    A new space telescope will soon give us an expanded field of view of some of the strangest phenomena in the cosmos. The launch of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will initiate this instrument’s contributions to the understanding of black holes, dark matter, and dark energy. It will also further the search for exoplanets. The project’s principal and deputy investigators join us to describe the telescope’s science goals, and astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson provides his big picture view of the most exciting recent discoveries in astronomy and cosmology.

    Guests:

    * Julie McEnery – Astrophysicist at the Goddard Space Flight Center and senior project scientist for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
    * Jason Rhodes – JPL project scientist for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, focusing on dark energy, dark matter, and cosmic evolution.
    * Neil deGrasse Tyson – Astrophysicist and director of New York City’s Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, and author of "Lost in Space: 5,000 Facts for Navigating the Universe".
    * Anna de Graaff – Astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy.

    @nasaadmin has delivered wins for an administration that has been swamped by a series of self-owns, including a deeply unpopular war in Iran, inflation, multiple scandals, and other setbacks. #Trump is trying to take credit for providing “all that money” for #NASA when the fiscal year 2026 budget proposal even sought to cancel the #Roman #SpaceTelescope

  11. 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!
