NASA's newest space telescope is about to change how we see the universe — and it launches on August 30, 2026.

In this video, I break down everything about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: how it captures 100x more sky than Hubble at the same resolution, why its mirror started life as a scrapped spy satellite, how it's hunting for dark matter, dark energy, and thousands of new exoplanets, and how it fits alongside Hubble and the James Webb Space Telescope. Plus, the inspiring story of Nancy Grace Roman herself — the woman who was NASA's first female executive, and the reason Hubble made it to space in the first place.
