NASA Built a Camera Bigger Than the Full Moon — And It Is About to Change Astronomy Forever

NASA has completed the most powerful wide-field space telescope ever built. It covers more sky than the full Moon in a single image. What would take Hubble one thousand years, this telescope will do in one year. In this documentary, we explore everything you need to know about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launching September 2026. We cover its three hundred megapixel camera, its hunt for dark energy, its search for thousands of hidden exoplanets, and the most terrifying question in all of physics: is the universe tearing itself apart?
