NASA's powerful next-generation telescope has been launched into space from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, beginning its investigation into dark energy, black holes, and other mysteries of the universe. The 'Nancy Grace Roman' telescope will capture panoramic images from space, with a field of view at least 100 times larger than that of the famous Hubble Space Telescope. This mission starts with a 100-day journey to a point approximately 1.6 million kilometers from Earth, from where the telescope will begin examining exoplanets, or 'extrasolar planets.'
