The Roman Space Telescope will help NASA detect solitary black holes

NASA is talking about a new space telescope that will launch in the mid-2020s. The new telescope is the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, or simply the Roman Space Telescope. NASA is hosting the announcement at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California today.

The telescope will be 1.4 meters (5 feet, 2 inches) long and has a diameter of 100 millimeters (3 inches). It will position its mirror at an optimal angle to map the surface of the Proxima Centauri system, Kepler's nearest neighbor. The new telescope will expand what is known about the star Betelgeuse, whose gravity will stir up little earthquakes and tectonic activity, which should allow researchers to identify potential black holes within the gas giant's surface.

Plans to use the telescope include releasing small black holes around their star, and measuring tidal forces between them. These pressures should reveal whether the black holes orbit one another as an object orbits in space. "We expect the black holes to swap and spiral together," NASA wrote today, "especially tangentially."

The new telescope will fly on a NASA Falcon Heavy rocket. A specific launch date and launching site for the Italian space agency ASI have not yet been announced. Given this timeframe, the promise of a stable and optimized telescope opens up ideas for exploring the system's larger orbits—enough than believed previously. If all goes well, the new telescope could help foreknowledge of trends in binary black holes and quasi-baryonic matter objects and allow scientists to more understand the possible characteristics of black holes with mass. Additional exciting things to explore include the implications for other powerful science and research methods for understanding Nuclear Arc, in near and far space.

"the expansion of our own sun is the reason why we are here," Bacharach said in a press release describing the asteroid. "The Roman telescope will help us find the objects inside one of them."
