NASA Launches Roman Telescope to Probe Universe’s Mysteries

NASA launched a new space telescope called the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

It is named after Nancy Grace Roman, a scientist who helped create the Hubble Space Telescope.

Roman can study very large parts of space.

Its abilities are described as being between those of Hubble and the James Webb Telescope.

Scientists want it to learn more about dark matter and dark energy.

These are mysterious parts of the universe that scientists are still trying to understand.

The telescope will also look for and study exoplanets, which are planets outside our solar system.

Its observations could help scientists better understand how the universe works.
