With a view 100 times bigger than that of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope WFIRST will aid researchers in their efforts to unravel the secrets of dark energy and dark matter, and explore the evolution of the cosmos. It also will discover new worlds outside our solar system and advance the search for worlds that could be suitable for life. Scientists participating in the mission discuss the spacecraft, the science, and its potential. Slated to launch in the mid-2020s, the observatory will operate at a gravitational balance point known as Earth-sun L2, which is located about 930,000 miles from Earth and directly opposite the sun.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || WfirstAfta-PrintStill2_print.jpg (1024x576) [79.3 KB] || WfirstAfta-PrintStill2.png (3840x2160) [4.7 MB] || WfirstAfta-PrintStill2_searchweb.png (320x180) [59.2 KB] || WfirstAfta-PrintStill2_thm.png (80x40) [4.6 KB] || 12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_ProRes_1280x720_5994.mov (1280x720) [3.1 GB] || 12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_H264_Best_1280x720_5994.mov (1280x720) [1.7 GB] || 12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_FINAL_youtube_hq.mov (1280x720) [671.5 MB] || 12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_H264_Good_1280x720_2997.mov (1280x720) [174.0 MB] || 12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_FINAL_appletv.m4v (1280x720) [122.3 MB] || 12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_H264_Good_1280x720_2997.webm (1280x720) [25.0 MB] || 12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_FINAL_appletv_subtitles.m4v (1280x720) [122.4 MB] || 12153_WFIRST_BestBoth_SRT_Captions.en_US.srt [4.6 KB] || 12153_WFIRST_BestBoth_SRT_Captions.en_US.vtt [4.4 KB] || NASA_PODCAST_12153_WFIRST_Best_Both_Worlds_FINAL_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [41.6 MB] ||

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a next-generation space telescope that will survey the infrared universe from beyond the orbit of the Moon. The spacecraft's giant camera, the Wide Field Instrument (WFI), will be fundamental to this exploration. The WFI features the same angular resolution as Hubble but with 100 times the field of view. Data it gathers will enable scientists to discover new and uniquely detailed information about planetary systems around other stars. The WFI will also map how matter is structured and distributed throughout the cosmos, which should ultimately allow scientists to discover the fate of the universe.
