Learn about the next great space observatory!
The next great space observatory for NASA is set to launch on Sunday, August 30th, 2026, and it is the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope! On Tuesday, August 18th at 6:30PM, join Dr. Don Miller, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, to learn about this exciting observatory and how it will explore many mysteries of the universe.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope’s, potentially measuring light from a billion galaxies in its lifetime. The telescope will not only complement the existing space telescopes but will also provide us with unprecedented levels of detail. |
