NASA’s Roman to look for primordial black holes at 1000x pace than Hubble

With a field of view at least 100 times larger than Hubble's, Roman telescope will survey the sky 1,000 times faster than the former can .

Scheduled to launch by May 2027, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will unveil the cosmos in ways that have never been possible before.

DeRocco, who led a study about how Roman could reveal them, said, “If we find them, it will shake up the field of theoretical physics.” Astronomers think that the smallest ones would have evaporated before the universe reached its current age but primordial black holes with masses similar to Earth could have survived.Finding these in space is expected to have an enormous impact on physics and astronomy.“Confirming their identities will be hard work and astronomers will need a lot of convincing, but it would be well worth it.”
