Roman to map vast sky areas
Roman is set to change the game in space exploration. It'll scan huge sections of the sky, 100 times more than Hubble, and gather data way faster, helping scientists study dark energy, galaxy formation, and far-off planets.
Thanks to its special coronagraph (which blocks out starlight), it could help detect faint exoplanets.
Before launch, Roman will face tough tests to make sure it can handle space, and then travel to the Lagrange Point 2 region for a steady view of the universe.
