NASA set to search for alien planets from 2027 as new space telescope set for launch
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch around May 2027, the agency has said, and will let us unravel scientific mysteries linked to dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics
NASA's Roman space telescope gets ready to stare at distant suns to find alien planets
In a clean room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, scientists have successfully integrated a crucial component onto the Roman Space Telescope. This device, known as the Roman Coronagraph Instrument, is designed to block starlight, enabling scientists to detect the faint light from planets beyond our solar system.
NASA’s Roman Telescope Unlocks New Chapter in the Search for Alien Worlds
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope team has integrated the innovative Roman Coronagraph Instrument, marking a major milestone in exoplanet exploration technology. Installed at Goddard, the coronagraph aims to refine methods of observing planets beyond our solar system by reducing stellar interference.
NASA Installs Roman Space Telescope's Planet-Hunting Coronagraph
The Roman Telescope is being built at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where the coronagraph recently arrived after being built at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This observatory is often compared to Hubble as it uses a similar 2.
NASA's new $3.2bn telescope is about to look for ‘alien life' in planets deep in space
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Wide Field Instrument provides a field of view 100 times greater than the Hubble Telescope, allowing it to scan enormous sections of space for potentially habitable planets.
