Right now, NASA engineers are fine-tuning the Roman Space Telescope after its August launch, achieving nearly 30% sharper images than predicted. Its wide-field surveys of dark energy, matter, and exoplanets will flood science with transformative data. Most ignore the quiet calibrations, but in 20 years those maps will redefine our cosmic model.
