Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope comes together at Goddard
A tour of NASA Goddard’s Clean Room reveals the plan to assemble the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope by late 2026 for a May 2027 launch. The 4 billion project aims to map dark energy, study exoplanet atmospheres, and deliver massive data from a million miles away at L2.

Earth records hottest year as climate thresholds broken
Earth logged its warmest year on record in 2024 surpassing a major warming threshold. Four of six teams agree the global average exceeded 1.5 C. scientists warn longer exposure means more deaths, habitat loss, sea level rise, and extreme weather amid 2024’s billion-dollar disasters and 2025 wildfires. Strong entities include Copernicus, Met Office, JMA, Berkeley Earth, NASA, NOAA, and the World Meteorological Organization. The composite estimate sits around 1.55 C with ongoing greenhouse gas accumulation driving heat and impacts.
