Nasa's new Nancy Grace Roman telescope launched from Florida on Sunday, heading for a point one million miles from Earth. The Nancy Grace Roman telescope can see an area 100 times greater than the Hubble or James Webb telescopes. It's expected to revolutionise understanding of dark energy and could find up to 100,000 new exoplanets.
