On a late August morning in 2026, humanity extended its gaze deeper into the cosmos as NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope rose into orbit, carrying the ambition to catalog more than 100,000 worlds beyond our solar system. Named for a pioneering astronomer who spent her life building the infrastructure of discovery, the observatory represents not merely a new instrument but a new scale of inquiry — one that may redefine how we understand the prevalence of planets, and perhaps life, across the universe. Where previous telescopes found exoplanets one at a time, Roman arrives to conduct a ce
