Nancy Grace Roman, NASA's first female executive who championed the Hubble Space Telescope, made everyone feel special with her warmth and humor. This week, NASA launches a new telescope bearing her name, celebrating a woman who changed astronomy forever.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launched in August 2026, is the first space telescope ever named after a real woman. The groundbreaking honor recognizes the American astronomer who championed Hubble and led NASA's astronomy program in the 1960s.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched in August as the first space telescope named after a woman, honoring the scientist who built NASA's space astronomy program against all odds. Her legacy just saved the mission from cancellation and opened new windows into our universe.
NASA's newest space telescope honors Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, who became the agency's first chief of astronomy in 1959 despite facing constant gender discrimination. The woman who helped make Hubble possible now has her own mission exploring dark matter and distant planets.
An 18-year-old high school student from California discovered over 1.5 million unknown space objects by building an algorithm to analyze retired NASA telescope data. His breakthrough won him $250,000 and publication in a major astronomy journal.
A NASA program showed teachers how to teach astronomy while respecting the sacred meaning mountaintop observatories hold for Native Hawaiian and Tohono O'odham communities. Over 10 years, 780 teachers learned to frame science as a human story shaped by many cultures.
NASA's newest space telescope just cleared its final review and is set to launch this Sunday, opening a new era of cosmic discovery. The Roman Space Telescope will help scientists solve some of astronomy's biggest mysteries, from how the universe expands to finding distant worlds.
A high school student used machine learning to discover 1.5 million previously unknown variable objects hidden in NASA's archives. Matteo Paz turned a summer project into a groundbreaking contribution to astronomy.
A groundbreaking space rescue mission launching this week could extend the life of a beloved astronomy satellite and pave the way for saving other observatories, including Hubble. NASA is sending a robotic spacecraft to boost the Swift Observatory back to safety before it falls from the sky.
NASA has finished building its next major space observatory, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and it's on track to launch this fall. The powerful new telescope will help scientists understand how galaxies, stars, and distant planets form and evolve.
NASA's next great space observatory has finished assembly and is heading toward a late 2026 launch. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will scan the universe at an unprecedented scale, hunting for thousands of new planets and unlocking mysteries about dark energy.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched Sunday, marking NASA's first space telescope named after a woman. The $4 billion observatory will survey the universe 100 times faster than Hubble.
A high school senior analyzed years-old NASA telescope data and discovered where more Earth-like planets might still be hiding. Her work proves that groundbreaking science doesn't always require new technology, just fresh eyes on what's already there.
A NASA network engineer photographed a nebula 2,000 light-years away from his backyard just 9 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, proving light pollution can't stop dedicated stargazers. His 27-hour project reveals breathtaking detail of a stellar nursery where new stars are born.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launching as early as next month, will use groundbreaking mirror technology to photograph distant planets similar to those in our solar system for the first time. The innovation could be the critical stepping stone toward discovering Earth-like worlds beyond our solar system.
After years of funding struggles, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has successfully launched on a mission to unlock the universe's biggest mysteries. The telescope will survey space 1,000 times faster than Hubble while hunting for answers about dark matter and dark energy.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will launch this fall to photograph hundreds of millions of galaxies and unlock the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. The mission will create the most detailed map of the cosmos ever made, covering 12% of the sky in just 18 months.
A space telescope with an unusual origin story is about to revolutionize astronomy. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, built from a repurposed spy satellite, launches August 30 to unlock mysteries of dark energy and discover thousands of new planets.
NASA just completed its next great space telescope eight months ahead of schedule and under budget, ready to scan the universe 1,000 times faster than Hubble. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launches September 2026 to capture cosmic views we've never seen before.
New Yorkers can stargaze with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope experts on the High Line this July, completely free. The special event combines cutting-edge space science with breathtaking views of Venus, sunspots, and distant stars visible above the city.
