Nancy Grace Roman's Telescope Is Built to Watch the Sky Change

A new NASA telescope named for Nancy Grace Roman — the agency's first chief of astronomy and first female executive — is designed to observe changes to the night sky almost as if they were a cosmic high-definition movie. The trick isn't one instrument but three capabilities working together: sharp images, a huge field of view, and repeated observations. A telescope that is merely sharp hands you a beautiful instant. One that returns to the same patch again and again gets to hand you the story.
