NASA recently announced that its next-generation space telescope, formerly called the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), has been named in honor of Dr. Nancy Grace Roman. As NASA’s first Chief Astronomer, Dr. Roman paved the way for space telescopes focused on the broader universe. She is credited with making the Hubble Space Telescope a reality, leading to her nickname as the "mother of Hubble."
When it launches in the mid-2020s, NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will create enormous space panoramas of unprecedented detail. The mission’s wide field of view will enable scientists to conduct sweeping cosmic surveys, yielding a wealth of information about celestial realms from our solar system to the edge of the observable universe.
Roman will survey the sky in infrared light, which is invisible to human eyes. It will have the same resolution in near-infrared wavelengths as NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, but will capture a field of view about 100 times larger.
Roman’s surveys will deliver new insights into the history and structure of the universe, including the mysterious "dark energy" that is making space itself expand faster and faster. This powerful new observatory will also build on the broad foundation of work begun with Hubble and other observatories on planets outside our solar system. It will discover thousands of exoplanets using its wide-field camera and study the atmospheres of giant gaseous planets orbiting other stars with a sophisticated technology demonstration coronagraph.

I'm glad there are men and women out there like those in this presentation who are pushing science and engineering to the maximum for the benefit of humanity. These are the true heroes and role models of society. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for these individuals and their hard work.
I love this channel. How can this not have more views?
Because 99% of the public does not accept science and has no interest in anything but their measly little lives and the money they make.
Fascinating Q+A too.
I enjoy learning about our extense universe, thanks!
Now watch the "Expanse" on prime video.
Great channel! Thank you.
Excellent content. Loved the slides , they were made keeping in mind the basic knowledge levels of the audience .. the Roman telescope is going to open a whole new universe to us..
With the amount of data that will be archived from Roman, Data storage will be a large constituent of the project. Petabytes upon petabytes. In the words of Roy Scheider in the movie Jaws, "You're gonna need a bigger boat".
With the Roman telescope being parked at L2 with no chance of a maintenance mission, I sure hope they grind the mirrors with no aberrations like the Hubble mirror was.
Bruh the telescope bois r gonna work together
Esto será historico
Why isn't the sensor array square?
Excellent!!!!!
Excellent talk and super good topic !
Thanks keep up the good work
Where is more footage like pulsar Vela and Roman will produce images how much clearer compared to? Thx for your time, space, n energy
Esto me fascina. podremos saber
i am from egypt .. can i join to this great institute؟
get citizenship in which ever country where ever the control center is
Nancy great anatomy who as me have the book called Nancy anatomy. I am so glad to own that book.
Why use three names? Something is missing on her? So to make it up by adding more names?
Phase interference like some microscope imaging techniques. Interesting.
Is wfirst can see the expanding of universe
your telling me this telescope can see things way out in the Galaxy...but it cant even get a close up view of Saturn to count how many moons there are....that we waste money on satellites to shoot into space when we have telescope that should be able to pick up an ants arse on Neptune....
Why are you here?
@@pmboston Yep, good question ! Sometime I' amassed about the short minded people ... hopefully we have also greats spirits that have build those super telescopes !
@@parva777 Thank you, Half of all people are curious and imaginative, the other half love only security and no changes. Both are necessary it seems. Sometimes we anger each other.🙂
Great channel! Thank you.
