Simulated Image Demonstrates the Power of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launching in the mid-2020s, will capture images with the same resolution as Hubble but over a 100 times larger area. It will use infrared light to see through dust, revealing hidden stars and galaxy growth over 10 billion years. Simulated images, based on Hubble's Andromeda mosaic, demonstrate Roman's capabilities. Roman's images are composed of 18 panels, each from a 16-megapixel detector, creating a unique shape. The telescope will also search for planets and study dark matter and energy, offering a comprehensive view of the universe.
