美國太空總署（NASA）正為 2026 年發射南西·格蕾絲·羅曼太空望遠鏡（Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope）做準備，這是一座旨在改變我們對宇宙理解的軌道天文台。
NASA is gearing up for the 2026 launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an orbital observatory set to transform our understanding of the universe.
該望遠鏡配備 2.4 公尺的主鏡，其視野比哈伯太空望遠鏡的紅外線相機大 100 倍，使其能以空前的速度觀測宇宙。

該任務有三個主要目標：調查推動宇宙膨脹的神祕暗能量與暗物質，透過重力微透鏡（microlensing）技術與直接成像發現數千顆系外行星，以及觀測黑洞和超新星等現象。
Equipped with a 2.4-meter mirror, the telescope features a field of view 100 times larger than Hubble’s infrared camera, allowing it to survey the cosmos with unprecedented speed.
一項顯著特色是日冕儀（Coronagraph Instrument），這是一種能阻擋星光以顯現附近暗淡世界的技術驗證儀器。
The mission has three primary goals: investigating the mysterious dark energy and dark matter that drive the universe’s expansion, discovering thousands of exoplanets through gravitational microlensing and direct imaging, and observing phenomena like black holes and supernovae.
透過掃描超過 10 億個星系，羅曼任務將提供高解析度的紅外線數據，支援廣泛的天文學研究。
A standout feature is the Coronagraph Instrument, a technology demonstrator that blocks starlight to reveal faint nearby worlds.
此任務基礎壽命為五年，並有延長運行的潛力，代表我們在繪製宇宙地圖的探索上邁出了巨大的一步。
By scanning over one billion galaxies, the Roman mission will provide high-resolution infrared data that supports a vast range of astronomical research.
