*Abstract*: <br>
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is NASA's next flagship astrophysics observatory, scheduled to launch this September. Combining the sharp vision of the Hubble Space Telescope with a field of view more than one hundred times larger, Roman will enable astronomers to survey the Universe with unprecedented speed and detail. Roman will search for planets beyond our Solar System, map the distribution of dark matter, investigate the mysterious force known as dark energy, and reveal how galaxies have formed and evolved over billions of years of cosmic time. Join us for an introduction to the Roman Space Telescope as we prepare for its launch and explore the exciting discoveries it is expected to make.
