The mystery of dark energy just got a powerful new investigator: the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

With Roman now in space, scientists will map billions of galaxies to understand why our universe is expanding faster and faster. This mission is opening an entirely new window into one of the biggest cosmic puzzles ever discovered. But here’s the amazing part… you can join that exploration today.

Your mission: Help researchers identify ancient, distant galaxies using real telescope data, right from your phone or laptop. Your clicks help build the largest map of early universe galaxies ever made, revealing how dark energy has shaped cosmic history.

Roman is beginning a new era of discovery. You can help write that story.
