Kirkland Senior Center

Program: "New Eyes on the Universe: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope"

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is the latest addition to NASA’s fleet of space-based observatories. With an extremely wide field of view, it will survey tens of thousands of exoplanets, hundreds of millions of galaxies, and billions of stars. The unprecedented volume of data will revolutionize our understanding of dark energy, dark matter, and the origin and evolution of the universe, galaxies, stars, and planets. Via Zoom.

Presented by Carol Higgins, NASA Solar System Ambassador and MVAS member
