How are we preparing for the launch of #NASARoman?

Hear from three team members as they share what makes the Roman mission unique, how they’re preparing future users of the telescope data, and the importance of thermal vacuum testing: https://bit.ly/4iVm4rp

One thing is true for both stars and humans: We slow down as we age. Learn how #NASARoman will pinpoint stars’ ages by watching how quickly they spin.

#NASARoman will calculate the expansion rate of our universe by searching for gravitationally lensed supernovas, which are exceedingly rare events.

#NASARoman will look for signs of dark matter in the gaps of stellar streams. These trails of stars form at the edge of galaxies due to gravity ripping apart globular star clusters. Spaces between the stars can indicate the influence of dark matter.

With #NASARoman’s high resolution and fast survey speed, it will be able to view our universe’s during a time that scientists like to call “cosmic noon”. https://www.stsci.edu/contents/news-releases/2022/news-2022-018

#NASARoman: The next great space telescope will study distant galaxies and faraway planets from an orbital outpost about a million miles from Earth. But first it has to be put together, piece by piece, in a cavernous chamber at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Imagine a telescope that can perform 200 Hubble Ultra Deep Fields in near-infrared light at once. #NASARoman is up to the task.

#NASARoman is on track to launch no later than May 2027! Recently, the Coronagraph Instrument, Optical Telescope Assembly, and Wide Field Instrument were attached to the telescope’s Instrument Center: https://go.nasa.gov/3ZQSnB1

A person in a white clean suit inspects the Roman Space Telescope’s primary mirror in a clean room. They are holding a device that is shining light and being reflected off the mirror.

A person in a white clean suit and face mask crouches under a circular section of the Roman Space Telescope in a clean room. They are reaching up into the metallic fabric of the observatory.

Two people in white clean suits stand on ladders, looking up at the highest part of the Roman Space Telescope as it’s being assembled.

People wearing clean suits and face masks stand close to the Roman Space Telescope as a new piece is being installed.

Here's the plan...

1. Discovery of Earth mass primordial black holes
2.
3.
4. Black Hole Starships

Scientists predict that #NASARoman could find a class of “featherweight” black holes that has so far eluded detection. Discovering these tiny objects would have an enormous impact on physics and astronomy: https://go.nasa.gov/4cc1bEF

An illustration shows bright orange donut-shaped rings with black centers of various sizes. They are facing every direction and floating throughout the rectangle image. A bright yellow light off frame toward the top left corner gives the rings near it a fuzzy washed-out appearance.

The upcoming #NASARoman telescope will be able to survey the sky 1,000 times faster than Hubble. Dr. Ori Fox will discuss the details of the Roman mission, with a focus on potential studies on the discovery of new planets—TODAY at 8:00 p.m. ET.

With #NASARoman, astronomers are preparing to become galactic archeologists. Using Roman’s wide field of view, they will see ancient galaxy structures, uncover the history of galaxy formation, and gather clues about the nature of dark matter: https://bit.ly/46i7xRJ

Artist’s concept of spiral galaxy at the center of a much larger spherical halo of stars, with ground-based photograph pulled out to show details of the central core and spiral arms. View of the galaxy is halfway between face-on and edge-on, with disk oriented 45 degrees counter-clockwise from horizontal. Artist’s Concept: Galaxy core is whitish yellow, circled by a brownish purple disk. Grainy white halo enveloping the disk is dense and bright near the center, becoming more diffuse and fading out with distance from the main disk. Halo is mottled with a wispy cloud-like appearance, suggesting variations in density of stars. Halo covers an area of sky about 250 times greater than main disk. Photo: Telescope zoom into galaxy core and disk, outlined in yellow, shows brown dust lanes tracing spiral arms that wrap clockwise around fuzzy core; cloud-like patches of blue and red; star-like points of light of various size and brightness. Galaxy is 45 times larger in zoom than in illustration.

#NASARoman is slated to launch by May 2027, where it will begin its study of numerous astronomical objects and events. Its surveys will complement existing telescopes, like Hubble and #NASAWebb, as well as future missions. (7/7)

By observing unique dynamic phenomena, such as tidal disruption events, #NASARoman will help to clarify and characterize the chaotic environments in galaxies. It can also help astronomers locate the sources of some gravitational waves for further study. (6/7)

#NASARoman will use many methods to measure the effects of dark matter and dark energy on galaxies in our universe. For example, by observing differences in brightness between supernovas, we can measure how fast galaxies are moving as the universe expands. (5/7)
