Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Scientists are about to launch a telescope that could see the entire universe's history in a single image.

[00:00:06]NASA is targeting early September for the launch of the Roman Space Telescope, and this thing is extraordinary.

[00:00:13]Here's what makes it special.

[00:00:15]Hubble, which you probably know, captures images like looking through a soda straw.

[00:00:21]Roman's [music] field of view is 100 times wider.

[00:00:24]Same sharpness.

[00:00:26]100 times the sky.

[00:00:29]Imagine swapping a peephole for a stadium-sized window. That's the upgrade we're talking about.

[00:00:35]Roman will map hundreds of millions [music] of galaxies, hunt for planets orbiting distant stars, and probe dark energy, the mysterious force [music] stretching the universe apart right now.

[00:00:46]Every image it takes will contain more cosmic data than anything we've captured before.

[00:00:51]This isn't just another telescope.

[00:00:54]It's a time machine pointed at the entire sky at once.

[00:00:58]The universe is about to get a lot less mysterious.
