NASA integrates coronagraph into Roman Space Telescope for exoplanet observation, launching May 2027.

NASA has integrated a coronagraph into its Roman Space Telescope, scheduled for launch by May 2027. This instrument will block sunlight to enable the observation of distant exoplanets and their atmospheres. The Roman Space Telescope, which has a field of view 100 times larger than Hubble’s, aims to explore dark energy and infrared astrophysics, potentially discovering thousands of exoplanets and advancing our understanding of the universe's formation.
