NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is scheduled to launch Sunday, August 30, at 7:26 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The observatory, designed to study dark matter and exoplanets, will travel to Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2 to capture panoramic images with a field of view 100 times larger than Hubble’s. Launch conditions are favorable, with warm, partly cloudy skies. Roman was recently enclosed in its protective fairing, and final readiness reviews confirm it is prepared for liftoff. NASA will begin livestreaming coverage at 6:20 a.m. EDT on its social media platforms. https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/nasas-roman-space-telescope-set-to-launch-sunday/1926802
