i want someone who makes time for me because they truly want to see me, spend time with me. someone who actually cares about my opinions and thoughts and doesn’t just brush them off. someone who makes an effort because they know that’s part of being in a relationship. someone who talks to me even when something is wrong instead of giving me the silent treatment. someone who sees me as someone who can be loved by them
About 15 years ago, our Hubble Space Telescope captured this ultra-deep field image of space, revealing thousands of galaxies tucked away in a seemingly empty spot in the sky.
Now, imagine this view of the cosmos – and all the mysteries in it – at a scale300 times larger than Hubble’s.
Roman recently released this gorgeous simulated image that gives us a preview of what the telescope could see. Each tiny speck represents a galaxy filled with billions of stars. And it’s more than just a pretty picture – scientists could learn a lot from an observation like this!
Since Roman can see much more of the sky at a time, it could create an ultra-deep field image that’s far larger than Hubble’s. So instead of revealing thousands of galaxies, Roman would see millions!
Roman’s ability to look far out into space with such an expansive view would help us better understand what the universe was like when it was young. For example, scientists could study a lot of cosmic transitions, like how galaxies switch from star-making factories to a quieter stage when star formation is complete and how the universe went from being mainly opaque to the brilliant starscape we see today.
And these are just a few of the mysteries Roman could help us solve!
