Small Steps, Giant Leaps: Episode 137: The Roman Space Telescope - Uncovering the Dark Universe
We dont yet know what dark matter is, yet it makes up 85 of all the matter in the universe. The Roman Space Telescope will aim to unravel the mystery. With a field of view 100 times wider than the Hubble Space Telescopes, Roman will study in near-infrared light the atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars, making other exoplanet discoveries along the way. The mission is named after Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, NASAs first chief of astronomy and advocate for the development of the Hubble Space Telescope.. https://www.nasa.gov/podca...#nasa #space #news
