美國航空暨太空總署(NASA)正為 2026 年發射「南希·葛瑞絲·羅曼太空望遠鏡」(Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope)做準備,這是一座旨在開拓我們宇宙視野的革命性觀測站。
NASA is gearing up for the 2026 launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a revolutionary observatory designed to expand our cosmic horizons.
該望遠鏡預計於 2026 年 8 月 30 日從佛羅里達州出發,前往日地拉格朗日點 2(Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2),這也是詹姆斯·韋伯太空望遠鏡所處的深空位置。
Set to depart on August 30, 2026, from Florida, the telescope will head to the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2, the same deep-space spot occupied by the James Webb Space Telescope.
Nancy Grace Roman)命名,旨在破解有關暗能量、暗物質及發現遙遠系外行星等重大謎團。
Nancy Grace Roman, this mission aims to solve major mysteries regarding dark energy, dark matter, and the discovery of distant exoplanets.
雖然羅曼望遠鏡配備了與哈伯望遠鏡尺寸相近的 2.4 公尺鏡面,但其「廣角儀器」(Wide Field Instrument)卻是足以改變遊戲規則的關鍵。
While the Roman telescope features a 2.4-meter mirror similar in size to Hubble's, its Wide Field Instrument is a game-changer.
它拍攝的影像範圍比哈伯大 100 到 200 倍,使科學家能夠製作宇宙的全景地圖,而不僅僅是局部的快照。
It captures images 100 to 200 times larger than Hubble, allowing scientists to create panoramic maps of the universe rather than just focused snapshots.
此外,其先進的日冕儀(Coronagraph)能遮蔽刺眼的星光,使直接拍攝系外行星成為可能。
Furthermore, its advanced coronagraph will block blinding starlight, making it possible to image exoplanets directly.
