Now that the telescope is in area, whats next for astrophysics done from beyond Earths surface area? Here are 5 future objectives to get delighted about.Related: How the James Webb Space Telescope works in picturesNancy Grace Roman Telescope This telescope– called after Nancy Grace Roman, NASAs first chief astronomer– was originally called the Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope, or WFIRST. Expected to release in 2027, the telescope will survey millions of galaxies, building a map of our cosmological area. As a perk, the instrument will likewise use gravitational microlensing– tiny changes in background starlight– to discover potentially millions of exoplanets.An artists impression of NASAs Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, formerly understood as the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST).
