00:00:01,735 --> 00:00:03,770
The James Webb Space Telescope is now

3
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:07,207
a million miles from Earth
and performing science operations.

4
00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:10,343
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

5
00:00:10,343 --> 00:00:13,313
is scheduled to launch by 2027.

6
00:00:14,047 --> 00:00:17,650
These two observatories are NASA's
latest flagship missions

7
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:20,553
in the tradition of Hubble, Chandra, and Spitzer.

8
00:00:21,187 --> 00:00:22,555
But why do we need both?

9
00:00:22,555 --> 00:00:24,657
And why do they look so different?

10
00:00:24,657 --> 00:00:28,495
The answer to both questions is that
they are built to do different things.

11
00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:32,632
Webb has the exquisite sensitivity
and wavelength range to capture

12
00:00:32,632 --> 00:00:36,102
detailed images deeper into the universe
than ever before.

13
00:00:36,836 --> 00:00:41,041
Roman has an incredibly wide
field of view to rapidly survey huge

14
00:00:41,041 --> 00:00:45,211
areas of sky, while still rivaling
Hubble and Webb's resolving power.

15
00:00:45,912 --> 00:00:48,181
These two telescopes, with their different,

16
00:00:48,181 --> 00:00:52,585
but complementary, goals and strengths,
will help us understand

17
00:00:52,585 --> 00:00:55,755
much more about the early days of the universe,

18
00:00:56,289 --> 00:00:58,792
how it has evolved since then,

19
00:00:58,792 --> 00:01:01,494
and what other worlds might be out there.
