Nancy Grace Roman Telescope Launches After Surviving Budget Cuts
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
For a telescope that nearly got zeroed out, Roman is now a prime example of how science can outlast political budget battles.
💡 Why it matters
Its launch will provide unprecedented data on dark energy and exoplanets, potentially reshaping our understanding of the universe.
The $4.3 billion Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch Sunday from Florida, having survived two rounds of proposed budget cuts under the Trump administration. It will search for exoplanets and study planet formation during its million-mile journey.
