NASA launches first telescope named after female scientist
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, named after NASA's first Chief of Astronomy, will observe black holes, exoplanets and exploding stars.
NASA successfully launched the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope on Sunday from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The telescope, named after the first woman to hold a senior leadership position at NASA, will explore distant planets, exploding stars and black holes. It is expected to reach its destination approximately 1.6 million kilometers from Earth in about one month.
The mission's total budget is over $4 billion. The telescope will generate more than 500 terabytes of data annually, which is 10 times more than the Hubble Space Telescope.
