1 / 6
The Roman Telescope’s biggest feature is its extremely wide field of view. It can capture images of space that are nearly 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope in a single shot, helping scientists conduct research much faster.
Studying dark matter and dark energy
Most of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy, which cannot be seen directly. The Roman Telescope will help scientists study their effects and better understand these invisible components of the cosmos.
Searching for exoplanets
3 / 6
The telescope will also focus on discovering exoplanets outside our solar system. Using advanced technology, it can block the light of stars to directly observe planets orbiting them.
Strategic location in space
4 / 6
It will be placed about 1.5 million kilometers from Earth at the L2 point. This location provides stable temperatures and a clear view of space, allowing highly accurate data collection.
Massive data collection
5 / 6
The Roman Telescope is expected to send around 11 terabytes of data to Earth every day. This will help scientists create a detailed digital map of the universe.
Exploring big cosmic questions
6 / 6
Beyond imaging, the mission aims to answer major questions about the origin of the universe, the expansion of galaxies and the possibility of life beyond Earth.
