Far and Wide Part 2: Surveying the Universe

The James Webb and Nancy Grace Roman space telescopes are NASA’s latest flagship astrophysics observatories. One is in space already and the other will join it there soon. These two telescopes look very different, have different objectives, and together will advance our understanding of the universe. This four-part video series explores the differences and synergies of Roman and Webb. The Webb and Roman telescopes will both help us answer questions about the fundamental nature of the universe. Webb’s deep gaze will see the earliest galaxies and help astronomers learn more about the young cosmos. It will let researchers study individual galaxies in great detail. Roman’s unique combination of incredible detail and broad coverage will enable it to survey large swaths of sky, revealing millions of never-before-seen galaxies. Astronomers will study them as populations and to see the hidden large-scale structure of the universe, revealing new insight into the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter.
