Get information on the 2.4m telescope that is NASA's next big space telescope from NASA Ambassador Les Murray. Launching no later than May 2027, this telescope will survey the infrared skies to provide transformative science on astrophysics, cosmology, and exoplanets. With its Wide Field Instrument, Roman will have a field of view ~100-200x larger than JWST and Hubble and conduct Hubble-quality science ~1000x faster.
For all ages
Space is limited. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis starting 15 minutes before the program.
"Les Murray has a degree in physics and is a Principal Engineer for a telecom company designing fiber optics and very high speed data systems. Les has served on various standards bodies in the telecom industry and has developed many products over the last 30 years. Les is an avid amateur astronomer and likes to image the night sky. Les does lots of public outreach for astronomy, ham radio, robotics, rocketry and electronics. He loves science and really loves sharing it with others.." -- Directory | Solar System Ambassadors – NASA Solar System Exploration Website Website
