This visualization follows the Roman Space Telescope on its trajectory to the Sun–Earth Lagrange point L2.. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (shortened as Roman or the Roman Space Telescope, and formerly the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope or WFIRST) is a NASA infrared space telescope in development and scheduled to launch to a Sun–Earth L 2 orbit by May 2027.
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope →. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. [9]
The Wide Field Survey Telescope ( WFST) is a Chinese telescope characterized by a 2.5-metre primary mirror, [ 1] dedicated to time-domain surveys, tracking objects that change during observation such as supernovae. [ 2] It saw first light on 17 September 2023 when the WFST imaged the Andromeda Galaxy. [ 3]

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) has satellite galaxies just like the Milky Way. Orbiting M31 are at least 13 dwarf galaxies: the brightest and largest is M110, which can be seen with a basic telescope. The second-brightest and closest one to M31 is M32. The other galaxies are fainter, and were mostly discovered starting from the 1970s.
The Andromeda–Milky Way collision is a galactic collision predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years between the two largest galaxies in the Local Group —the Milky Way (which contains the Solar System and Earth) and the Andromeda Galaxy. [1][2][3][4][5] The stars involved are sufficiently far apart that it is improbable that any of them ...
Euclid is a wide-angle space telescope with a 600-megapixel camera to record visible light, a near-infrared spectrometer, and photometer, to determine the redshift of detected galaxies. It was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium and was launched on 1 July 2023 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. [10][11]
Psyche (spacecraft) Psyche (/ ˈsaɪki / SY-kee) is a NASA Discovery Program space mission launched on October 13, 2023 to explore the origin of planetary cores by orbiting and studying the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche beginning in 2029. [ 8 ] NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) manages the project.
