NASA to Launch Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to Study Cosmic Mysteries
NASA is preparing to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on August 30 from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. Positioned about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth near the Sun-Earth L2 point, the telescope will combine wide-field infrared imaging to study dark energy, dark matter, exoplanets, and black holes. It aims to complement existing observatories like Hubble and James Webb by conducting large-scale cosmic surveys and advancing understanding of the universe's expansion and evolution.
