The launch window for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope opens today.

Once conditions are perfect, she’’ll be headed to L2, the gravitational sweet spot about a million miles from Earth where the James Webb telescope already operates, Roman will survey the sky with a field of view 100 times wider than Hubble's. Its primary science targets include dark energy, exoplanet atmospheres, and the large-scale structure of the universe.

Even though Roman the woman is gone, we still get to say Roman is out there doing incredible research.

This one has been a long time coming.
