On August 30, 2026, a new chapter in space exploration began as NASA successfully launched the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
2026年8月30日，隨著NASA成功發射南希·葛瑞斯·羅曼太空望遠鏡(Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope)，太空探索開啟了新篇章。
Carried into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, this advanced observatory is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
這座先進的觀測台由SpaceX獵鷹重型運載火箭(Falcon Heavy)從佛羅里達州的甘迺迪太空中心(Kennedy Space Center)運送至軌道，準備革新我們對宇宙的理解。
Named in honor of Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first chief of astronomy and the visionary behind the Hubble Space Telescope, the mission aims to unlock mysteries surrounding dark energy, dark matter, and the vast census of exoplanets.
該任務以NASA首位天文學主管、哈伯太空望遠鏡(Hubble Space Telescope)背後的推手南希·葛瑞斯·羅曼為名，旨在揭開圍繞暗能量(dark energy)、暗物質(dark matter)及龐大系外行星(exoplanets)普查的謎團。
As a high-capacity 'survey machine,' Roman will downlink roughly 1.4 terabytes of data daily, providing scientists with an unprecedented wealth of cosmic information.
作為一部高容量的「巡天機器」，羅曼每天將傳回約1.4 TB的數據，為科學家提供前所未有的豐富宇宙資訊。
Currently, the telescope is traveling to its destination at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2 (L2), located 1.5 million kilometers away.
目前，望遠鏡正前往其目的地——位於150萬公里外的日地拉格朗日點2(Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2，簡稱L2)。
Following a calibration phase, it will begin its primary five-year science mission in early 2027, potentially reshaping our perspective on the cosmos for years to come.
在經歷校準階段後，它預計於2027年初開始為期五年的主要科學任務，可能在未來多年間重塑我們對宇宙的觀點。
