No practical application as far as I could see, but the discovery of properties is like the Lego bricks other research builds upon 👍 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

August 30Aug 30 The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has launchedA SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket lifted off at 7:26 a.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying the next-generation observatory toward its destination at Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2, about 1.5 million kilometers (930,000 miles) away. Scientists predict Roman will detect somewhere within the range of 60,000-200,000 candidate planets using the transmit method. It can also take direct photos of exoplanets, possibly including the first image of an exoplanet with rings.This telescope will have the resolution of Hubble, but with a much larger field of view. I look forward to seeing how well the coronagraph works. "Can't sleep the drones will kill me."
