NASA's new Roman telescope will map the universe 1,000 times faster

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to launch on August 30, will create 500 terabytes of data annually. Its Wide-Field Instrument, or WFI, can image a sky area 100 times larger than Hubble's infrared instrument. The WFI's wide view allows it to spot many events simultaneously, helping to map dark matter and energy.
