Dark Energy

NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will see thousands of exploding stars called supernovae across vast stretches of time and space. Using these observations, astronomers aim to shine a light on several cosmic mysteries, providing a window onto the universe’s distant past and hazy present.Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight CenterMusic: "Relentless Data" from Universal Production MusicWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || Supernova_IA_1285_print.jpg (1024x576) [53.0 KB] || Supernova_IA_1285.png (3840x2160) [5.0 MB] || Supernova_IA_1285_searchweb.png (320x180) [46.9 KB] || Supernova_IA_1285_thm.png (80x40) [4.6 KB] || 13852_Roman_Standard_Candle_Supernovae_1080_Best.webm (1920x1080) [28.3 MB] || 13852_Roman_Standard_Candle_Supernovae_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [136.7 MB] || 13852_Roman_Standard_Candle_Supernovae_1080_Best.mp4 (1920x1080) [654.2 MB] || 13852RomanStandardCandleSupernovaeCaptionsFix.en_US.srt [4.7 KB] || 13852RomanStandardCandleSupernovaeCaptionsFix.en_US.vtt [4.7 KB] || 13852_Roman_Standard_Candle_Supernovae_ProRes_1920x1080_2997.mov (1920x1080) [3.2 GB] ||

In this simulated view of the deep cosmos, each dot represents a galaxy. The three small squares show Hubble's field of view, and each reveals a different region of the synthetic universe. Roman will be able to quickly survey an area as large as the whole zoomed-out image, which will give us a glimpse of the universe’s largest structures.Credits: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/A.
