Time Domain Astronomy and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

What is the primary method used to observe the universe?

• Measuring gravitational waves

• Collecting light in various wavelengths

• Collecting sound waves

• Tracking cosmic rays

Which type of change in time domain astronomy is characterized by a regular fixed pattern?

• Quasi-periodic

• Transient

• Periodic

• Irregular

What is a key challenge in observing transient events in space?

• They are unpredictable and brief

• They occur too frequently

• They are too bright

• They are too far away

What advantage does the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope have over ground-based telescopes?

• It is less expensive

• It has a smaller field of view

• It has lower image quality

• It can observe during the day

What is one of the main objectives of the Roman Space Telescope's survey missions?

• To study the Earth's atmosphere

• To discover new planets and black holes

• To track weather patterns on Jupiter

• To map the surface of Mars
