Congrats to @NASARoman on a successful launch!
We look forward to pushing the boundaries of exoplanet direct imaging together. 🤝
Liftoff! @NASARoman begins its flight to space. The Roman telescope’s wide field of view will generate never-before-seen images, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe.
Last week, our SURF-the-WAVE and QuantumSURF Fellows presented at @Caltech's KNI x IQIM Summer Poster Session. Congrats to Yiting Zhao, People's Choice winner, and thanks to all who cheered the fellows on. Science is always more fun as a community!
