NASA has shared details on how its Roman Space Telescope will allow the space agency to rewind the universe like never before.
and has shared how its Roman Space Telescope will rewind the universe like never before.
According to Aaron Yung, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, Webb and Hubble are designed to look at the universe through very select pinholes. With Roman, though, NASA plans to look at the universe in a much bigger way. The space agency believes this will allow it to rewind the universe and get a better sense of how things used to be.The Roman Space Telescope is currently set to launch sometime in 2027.
This means that we’ll finally be able to look at more of the universe in the same image. According to stills shared by NASA, the simulation will literally give astronomers a view of thousands – if not millions – of galaxies at once. That data can then be conjoined with data from Webb and Hubble to further hone in and rewind specific parts of our universe so that we can see how it looked in the past.
A group of researchers published a paper describing the results of the simulation back in December. The paper is available to read in
