The Cosmic Atlas: NASA's New Frontier in Mapping the Universe NASA is set to launch its Roman Space Telescope on Sunday, marking a significant shift in our understanding of the cosmos.
With a field of view more than 100 times larger than Hubble's, the Roman telescope will survey vast swaths of the sky from a vantage point 1. 5 million kilometers away.
The Roman telescope represents a fundamental change in approach to space based observatories. Rather than focusing on specific targets or phenomena, it aims to provide a comprehensive map of the universe.
