STSCI Public lecture – Sept 2024
NASA's Next Big Thing: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Date: Tue 3 Sep 2024
Location: Virtual
Time: 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM EDT
**Speaker: **Ori Fox (Space Telescope Science Institute)

NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) is readying for launch in late 2026. Roman will be able to survey the sky 1,000 times faster than Hubble. It will collect near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic data with Hubble-quality resolution and sensitivity over fields of view 200 times greater than the Hubble's. Roman's data will enrich all areas of astrophysics by enabling studies of nearly every class of astronomical object, phenomenon, and environment across the observable universe. Dr. Fox will discuss the details of the Roman mission, with a focus on its scientific goals. These exciting studies include the discovery of thousands of new planets and pinpointing the source of a mysterious force called Dark Energy that permeates our Universe.
I will try and share some thoughts on my Matrix Science Room

The difference between the Euclid mission and the JWST
The full-colour photos offer the clearest glimpse yet of the cosmos, as the telescope continues its mission to unlock the mysteries of the furthest reaches of space known as the "dark universe".

James Webb Update 19/7/2022
The first set of images from the JWST were really impressive. Hopefully we will get more shortly. So check the website on a regular basis for updates. At the next STEM Group meeting, we are aiming to have a JWST theme, with a recording of the August Space Telescope Science Institute lecture.

James Webb Update 1/4/2022
The telescope is now in the process of Webb is Cooling and Aligning Mirrors.
Lets discuss more at the next Paignton Library STEM group meeting.
I have added a link to a discourse discussion [3] Along with a link to my Tuxiversity forum to discuss Astronomy / Science related courses. [4].
The JWST mission could be a good topic at the Paignton Library STEM group [5] on 9th April.
