With a field of view 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope, the Roman Space Telescope will settle essential questions about exoplanets, dark energy, and infrared astrophysics.

Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, the ‘mother of the Hubble Space Telescope,’ the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will settle essential questions on dark matter, dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics. Over the first five years of observations, Roman will image more than 50 times as much sky as Hubble covered in 30 years and perform surveys that would take Hubble hundreds or even thousands of years. This observatory will also be able to block starlight to directly see exoplanets and planet-forming disks, complete a statistical census of planetary systems in our galaxy, and potentially measure light from a billion galaxies in its lifetime.
