NASA’s Roman space telescope gets ready to stare at distant suns to find alien planets

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has successfully integrated the Roman Coronagraph Instrument into the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a key milestone for the upcoming observatory set to launch in 2027.

The coronagraph is designed to block starlight, enabling the detection of faint exoplanet light.

This technology demonstration will pave the way for future missions like the Habitable Worlds Observatory, aimed at searching for signs of life on exoplanets.

The Roman Space Telescope will have a field of view 100 times larger than Hubble’s and focus on dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics, Space.com has reported.
