NASA Marshall(@NASA_Marshall):🚀@NASARoman launched on Aug. 30. Here are some fun facts about this new addition to our @NASA telescope family: 1. The mission is named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, Dr. Nancy Grace Roman. 2. The observatory will journey a million miles to join Webb at Lagrange point 2. 3. Roman will scan the skies for at least five years. 4. NASA expects to share Roman’s first images by early 2027. Roman will work in tandem with many other NASA-led and international missions to provide the most complete view of our universe yet. We're excited to see how our #NASAMarshall managed missions - IXPE and @chandraxray
