At first, the gas forms a messy, turbulent accretion disk around the pulsar, and plasma spirals down to it. But as the pulsar moves deeper into the stream, there’s not enough angular momentum to support the disk, and it breaks up. At this point, plasma falls straight onto the pulsar.

It began with the 2010 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey, where the community called for a wide-field infrared survey telescope: WFIRST. This was Roman’s start. Institutes and businesses across the country began developing new hardware to support this mission. At the observatory’s heart was a mirror the same size as Hubble’s and a set of 18 state-of-the-art detectors that allowed for both a massive field of view and extremely high angular resolution. This combination would allow Roman to create vast and detailed surveys of the universe unlike anything seen before. Roman also holds a Coronagraph Instrument to test hardware never before flown in space. It will be able to see distant planets orbiting other stars and is a major step toward finding life outside the solar system.Much of Roman’s hardware was developed and built in-house at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Other key systems came from places like NASA’s JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), BAE Systems, and L3Harris. Beginning in 2023, all the parts converged on Goddard. Inside Goddard’s enormous clean room, a team of dedicated engineers and technicians spent over three years assembling the pieces. Throughout the process, they also used Goddard’s testing facilities to evaluate the hardware’s ability to survive launch and space. Pieces, assembled sections, and finally the entire observatory were subjected to tests like vibration and acoustic shaking, thermal vacuum freezing, and centrifuge g-force loading.The early completion and future success of the Roman Space Telescope is a testament to the unwavering commitment and effort of thousands of people working together toward a common goal. Thanks to all their efforts, Roman will broaden our understanding of the universe and our place within it.Music: “Caelum,” Dan Thiessen [BMI], Universal Production MusicWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || RomanGoForLaunch_Still.jpg (3840x2160) [1.6 MB] || RomanGoForLaunch_Still_searchweb.png (320x180) [88.5 KB] || RomanGoForLaunch_Still_thm.png (80x40) [7.5 KB] || 15080_RomanGoForLaunch_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [170.3 MB] || RomanGoForLaunchCaptions.en_US.srt [3.0 KB] || RomanGoForLaunchCaptions.en_US.vtt [2.8 KB] || 15080_RomanGoForLaunch_4k.mp4 (3840x2160) [354.2 MB] || 15080_RomanGoForLaunch_4k_Best.mp4 (3840x2160) [699.6 MB] || 15080_RomanGoForLaunch_ProRes_3840x2160_2997.mov (3840x2160) [12.2 GB] || ", "hits": 366 }, { "id": 15082, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/15082/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2026-08-27T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Curious Universe: Why Roman Will Make Unexpected Discoveries", "description": "In this special episode of the Curious Universe podcast, we take a deep dive into the science of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope with Julie McEnery, Roman's senior project scientist.

It highlights different galactic environments that could influence the development of planets and potentially life. The center of the galaxy is rich in the elements that form planets (like silicon, oxygen, and magnesium), which are forged by multiple generations of stars and supernova explosions. Planets there may be more common or larger, but they would also be flooded with radiation from densely packed stars (including massive ones that emit enormous amounts of high-energy ultraviolet light and X-rays). In the outskirts of the galaxy, where stars are much more spread out, radiation is far milder but there are also smaller amounts of planet-building materials. Nestled in between these regions is the galactic habitable zone, a happy medium where radiation levels and planet-forming elements balance out, increasing the likelihood of worlds that could support life. || MilkyWayZONES_Final_half.jpg (2160x1080) [438.6 KB] || MilkyWayZONES_Final.jpg (4320x2160) [1.2 MB] || MilkyWayZONES_Final.png (4320x2160) [5.9 MB] || MilkyWayZONES_Final_searchweb.png (320x180) [66.4 KB] || MilkyWayZONES_Final_thm.png (80x40) [5.1 KB] || ", "hits": 297 }, { "id": 15048, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/15048/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2026-05-28T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Exoplanet Populations", "description": "This plot shows currently known exoplanets, with different categories highlighted.

NASA recently reached an incredible milestone in the search for planets beyond our solar system: more than six thousand confirmed exoplanets. From blazing hot Jupiters to mysterious super-Earths and puffy gas giants, each new discovery expands our view of the galaxy and deepens our oldest questions.When the Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990, not a single exoplanet was known. Yet Hubble’s precision and ultraviolet vision helped pioneer this field, revealing the atmospheres of distant worlds, tracing escaping gases, and uncovering exotic planets unlike anything in our solar system. Its studies have shown planets that are football-shaped, evaporating into space, or as dark as fresh asphalt, each one a testament to nature’s imagination.Today, Hubble continues to team up with NASA’s new generation of observatories like Webb, TESS, and the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to explore these alien worlds in ever greater detail. Together, they’re unraveling what these planets are made of, how they evolve, and whether some might harbor life. As we celebrate 6,000 confirmed exoplanets, we look ahead to the next 6,000 and to the discoveries still waiting beyond our cosmic horizon.For more information, visit science.nasa.gov/mission/hubbleCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Paul Morris: Lead ProducerVideo Credits:Artist’s Impression of WASP-121bNASA, ESA, and J.

Every material interacts with light in a unique way, leaving a distinct pattern of bright or dark lines across the spectrum. By analyzing these patterns through a process called spectroscopy, scientists can uncover details about objects millions or even billions of light-years away, including their temperature, motion, density, and chemical composition.Webb's infrared spectrographs, which split infrared light into spectra, are the most sensitive ever built. They can detect chemical fingerprints across the cosmos.

The chance of that happening while Hubble watched is extraordinarily miniscule. Comet K1, whose full name is Comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS)—not to be confused with interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS—was not the original target of the Hubble study.Before it fragmented, K1 was likely a bit larger than an average comet, probably around 5 miles across. The team estimates the comet began to disintegrate eight days before Hubble viewed it. Hubble took three 20-second images, one on each day from November 8 through November 10, 2025. As it watched the comet, one of K1’s smaller pieces also broke up. Because Hubble’s sharp vision can distinguish extremely fine details, the team could trace the history of the fragments back to when they were one piece. That allowed them to reconstruct the timeline. But in doing so, they uncovered a mystery: Why was there a delay between when the comet broke up and when bright outbursts were seen from the ground? When the comet fragmented and exposed fresh ice, why didn’t it brighten almost instantaneously?Sometimes the best science happens by accident!For more information, visit science.nasa.gov/mission/hubbleCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Paul Morris: Lead ProducerOriginal Story Written by: Ann Jenkins / Christine Pulliam of the Space Telescope Science InstituteVideo Credits:Milky Way with comets timelapse.

What is the next step in exploring the cosmos? The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA’s upcoming flagship mission, will take Hubble’s resolution and widen its infrared view to more than 100 times the coverage in every single image. Roman is a survey telescope that can peer through the Milky Way’s obscuring dust, and see faint, distant galaxies. Roman’s rigid design allows it to scan large regions of sky very quickly. Hubble would take 1,000 years to observe what Roman can see in one. Roman’s 18 4k x 4k detectors create 300-megapixel images covering an area of sky slightly larger than the full Moon. Roman will also look at the same regions of space repeatedly over time, allowing astronomers to see changes and observe temporary events like supernovae. Roman’s surveys of deep space and the center of our Milky Way galaxy will find thousands of new exoplanets, survey millions of galaxies, help us understand dark matter and dark energy, and learn more about the evolution of the universe. || ", "hits": 237 }, { "id": 14909, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14909/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-12-23T08:55:00-05:00", "title": "Hubble Spots Giant Vampire Sandwich?", "description": "Located roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth, this protoplanetary disk, nicknamed “Dracula’s Chivito,” spans nearly 400 billion miles – 40 times the diameter of the solar system to the outer edge of the Kuiper belt of cometary bodies.Nicknamed “Dracula’s Chivito,” the disk’s playful name comes from its discoverers, one from Transylvania and another from Uruguay, where the national dish is a sandwich called a chivito.Thanks to Hubble, we now can see this disk’s surprising scale and detail.

This animation illustrates one proposed explanation for GRB 250702B — the merger of a stellar-mass black hole with its stellar companion. As the black hole makes its last few orbits, it pulls large amounts of gas from the star. At some point in this process, the system begins to shine brightly in X-rays. Then, as the black hole enters the main body of the star, it rapidly consumes stellar matter, blasting gamma-ray jets (magenta) outward and causing the star to explode.
