NASA's Roman Telescope passes its eye exam!😎
Each of Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope's 10 mirrors must be 'aligned to well within the width of a human hair to optimize the telescope’s imaging quality to fully achieve its science goals.' ipac.caltech.edu/news/nasa-s-ro…
HAVE YOU TOLD EVERYONE YOU KNOW ABOUT EXPLORE EXOPLANETS: THE DISCOVERERS YET??
Get on it! Here's episode 10 with Dr. Emily Gilbert, which, if I say so myself, is a cracker.
