🔭 #Roman is scheduled to launch on Sunday, Aug. 30. Roman will conduct three main wide-field surveys and search for #exoplanets. The telescope’s capabilities will allow scientists to map billions of #galaxies 🌌 https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2026/07/roman-prelaunch-update/

Roman will detect #NEOs ☄️ as a natural result of its wide-field cosmology surveys. NEOs are #asteroids within 1.3 astronomical units from the Sun. Potentially hazardous asteroids are Atens or Apollos greater than 140 meters in diameter 📏 https://arxiv.org/html/2508.14412v1
