What’s next for Roman Space Telescope? Here’s how NASA’s flagship observatory will open up the universe:

NASA’s next big space telescope has left Earth, but it’s not ready to start observing the heavens just yet.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched yesterday (Aug. 30), riding a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket into the heavens. Astronomers are very excited about Roman, for it’s expected to discover thousands of new exoplanets and shed light on mysterious dark energy and dark matter, among other accomplishments.

Such science work is a few months off, however. Here’s a brief rundown of the next steps for the Roman team.

Great story at Cartoon Brew about Peter Cullen’s voice acting work. I had never really thought why he was so good as Optimus Prime:

His brother’s idea of heroism became central to Cullen’s interpretation of the character and arguably had a tremendous impact on generations of children who could look up to a strong leader who didn’t rely on bravado or overt displays of aggression.

Rest in peace.

[Optimus Prime was sooo well voiced.]
