After The James Webb Space Telescope Comes The Roman


The James Webb Space Telescope has gone active long after it was launched in December 2021 and has provided Earthlings with plenty of new data. Exciting possibilities unfolded as our understanding of our solar system and beyond expanded with newer instruments Hubble carried. With reusable rockets accelerating launch dates for new satellites, scientists and researchers pile into various concepts to peer deeper into the edges of the universe. 

The James Webb Space Telescope will soon meet a new friend in the sky; the Roman space telescope will come in 2027. The JWST uses its massive mirrors and infrared sensors to study the formation of galaxies and stars, and the atmospheres of exoplanets, as TESS explores a black hole shredding a star. As if it were poetry, we are in our next age of space exploration.

We want to think of the possibilities and the goals of the great, Roman. Just as JWST was accompanied by sophisticated infrared signals, so too shall Roman expand. Mirroring the JWST, Roman will detect atmospheres and find undiscovered planets. 2.4 meters stands its primary mirror, with a 300-megapixel near-infrared camera, ready to make discoveries about the universe and dark energy.

Dark energy is an unknown phenomenon in the universe. James Webb is an incredible telescope, but it was not designed to analyze the possibilities of dark energy. We may record this hidden field with the Roman space telescope. There is still more time to develop the telescope; as the mission launch date comes, we will get more news from the James Webb Space Telescope, TESS, and more. The Nancy Gracy Roman Space Telescope will be a breakthrough in our understanding of dark energy.
