Page 1 of a coloring book about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope features Nancy Grace Roman.

Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief astronomer, smiles out at us from our first color page. She’s considered the mother of our Hubble Space Telescope because she helped everyone understand why it was important to have observatories in space – not just on the ground. If it weren’t for her, Hubble might not have ever become a reality.

The second color page illustrates some of the exciting science topics the Roman Space Telescope will explore. Set to launch in the mid-2020s, the mission will view the universe in infrared light, which is like using heat vision. We’ll be able to peer through clouds of dust and see things that are much farther away. We anticipate all kinds of discoveries from the edge of our solar system to the farthest reaches of space. This color page highlights a few of the things the Roman Space Telescope will help us learn more about. The mission will find thousands of planets beyond our solar system and hundreds of millions of galaxies. It will also help us unravel the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, represented by the gray web-like pattern in the background. With so much exciting new data, who knows what else we may learn?

This black and white page shows a comic drawing of Nancy Roman in bottom left taking up roughly half of the image. Cradled in her hands is a floating Hubble Space Telescope that lifts up into the upper right. Caption text reads: Nancy Grace Roman was NASA's first Chief Astronomer. Nicknamed the "Mother of Hubble," Roman was a key figure in making space-based telescopes at NASA a reality and helped secure funding for what would become the Hubble Space Telescope. Her work and devotion to science paved the way for future space-based missions like NASA's Roman Space Telescope, named in her honor.

The Roman Space Telescope is named after Nancy Grace Roman to honor the legacy she left behind when she died in 2018. Thanks to her, we’ve taken countless pictures of space from orbiting telescopes and learned so much more about the universe than we could have possibly known otherwise!

This black and white page has the Roman Space Telescope at an angle from bottom left to top right. Four plants in descending size (from Jupiter-like to Earth-like) arch around the top of the telescope. The caption text reads: Named after NASA's first Chief Astronomer, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will have a field of view at least 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope and will advance studies of dark energy and infrared astrophysics. Data from Roman will be used to discover thousands of new exoplanets and will help astrobiologists understand whether or not these worlds could be suitable for life as we know it.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has a field of view that is more than 100 times larger than the Hubble Space Telescope. Roman is designed to advance studies of dark energy and infrared astrophysics. Data from Roman is also used to discover thousands of previously unknown planets around distant stars and will help astrobiologists understand whether or not these far away worlds could be habitable for life as we know it.

Page 4 of a coloring book about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope features the Element Wheel Assembly.

The Roman Element Wheel Assembly allows the Roman Wide Field Instrument to both tune the wavelength of light that reaches the detectors and spread the light of astronomical objects into spectra.

Page 3 of a coloring book about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope features the Mosaic Plate Assembly.

The Roman Space Telescope Mosaic Plate Assembly is the heart of the Roman Wide Field Instrument (WFI). Each of these 18 detectors contains more than 16 million pixels that collect visible and infrared light emitted by astronomical sources. The detector array mosaic will enable the WFI to perform deep surveys of large portions of the sky to study dark energy, exoplanets, and more.
