The 'Nancy Grace Roman' telescope has been successfully launched and will observe 100 times more sky than 'Hubble'
NASA's new major astrophysics mission has launched, which over the next few years will map one billion galaxies and search for hundreds of thousands of exoplanets.
The Nancy Grace Roman space telescope, a major new project by NASA, was successfully launched on Sunday at 13:26 Spanish peninsular time on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The observatory separated from the rocket minutes after launch and began its journey to the L2 Lagrange point, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth. It will remain in orbit there for at least five years, with the possibility of extension to ten years.
