NASA's Roman space telescope gets ready to stare at distant suns to find alien planets
The Roman Coronagraph Instrument on NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will enable scientists to detect the faint light from planets beyond our solar system.
NASA Installs Roman Space Telescope's Planet-Hunting Coronagraph
The Roman Telescope is being built at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where the coronagraph recently arrived after being built at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This observatory is often compared to Hubble as it uses a similar 2.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch around May 2027, the agency has said, and will let us unravel scientific mysteries linked to dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics
NASA’s Roman Telescope Unlocks New Chapter in the Search for Alien Worlds
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope team has integrated the innovative Roman Coronagraph Instrument, marking a major milestone in exoplanet exploration technology. Installed at Goddard, the coronagraph aims to refine methods of observing planets beyond our solar system by reducing stellar interference.
NASA's Roman Telescope gets new tech to hunt for alien worlds around distant suns
The Roman Coronagraph Instrument, designed to block starlight, will help scientists detect faint light from exoplanets. The Roman Coronagraph is an advanced tool, about the size of a baby grand piano,
NASA's new $3.2bn telescope is about to look for ‘alien life' in planets deep in space
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's Wide Field Instrument provides a field of view 100 times greater than the Hubble Telescope, allowing it to scan enormous sections of space for potentially habitable planets.
