NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, launching to study dark energy, may also help detect dangerous asteroids thanks to its wide-field infrared camera, complementing JWST.

NASA announced that a plaque with over one million submitted names has been installed on the Roman spacecraft ahead of its launch later this month, continuing the tradition of sending names into space.

NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will feature the first space-based active coronagraph with deformable mirrors, enabling direct imaging of exoplanets similar to Jupiter and potentially paving the way for detecting Earth-like worlds.
