The Hubble image of a portion of the GOODS-South field (left) required multiple individual exposures that were stitched into a mosaic. The Roman Space Telescope will have a field of view (right) at least 100 times greater than Hubble, allowing it to capture data on thousands of galaxies in a single exposure. | IMAGE: NASA, ESA IMAGE PROCESSING: Joseph DePasquale (STScI) ACKNOWLEDGMENT: Pascal Oesch (University of Geneva), Mireia Montes (UNSW), DSS | Image | 32.8 MB | PNG | STScI-01FF85PY2TZSQRK1TVB7Y6NA0J | https://stsci.box.com/s/kza6zz7s7oo7l1svay3vw30bv00fo46t | https://hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2021/news-2021-048.html |
The Roman Space Telescope is designed for large surveys of the sky. This animation gives a sense of the scale of just one of Roman’s potential survey areas, which would span an area of 2,000 square degrees – about 10,000 times the size of the full Moon. | NASA, IPAC, Robert L.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space |
Telescope is a clue-hunter. As a survey mission, Roman will observe areas of the sky repeatedly, much like going back to the room multiple times to look for new details, or details that may have changed. It will cast a wide net with Hubble Space Telescope-quality data, but with 200 times Hubble’s infrared field of view! The infrared Roman mission will greatly expand our view of the universe, and it will provide many more clues to help solve some the greatest mysteries of astrophysics. | Illustration: J.

Like a detective who shares clues, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will provide open access and analysis of its data to scientists everywhere! | Illustration: J. Kang/STScI | Image | 480.5 KB | JPG | post_04 |

As a survey mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope |
will collect Hubble-quality data but with 200 times Hubble’s infrared field of view. It will view planets by the thousands, galaxies by the millions, and stars by the billions. It will transmit almost 1,400 gigabytes of information to the ground each day—more than the storage space of an average home computer. For comparison, the Hubble Space Telescope sends less than 3 gigabytes a day, and the James Webb Space Telescope sends less than 60 gigabytes. After just five years of observing, Roman will have delivered 20,000 terabytes! All of this data will provide a treasure trove of information to scientists for many years to come. | Illustration: J.

This image of galaxy cluster Abell 426 showcases the superb resolution and wide field of view of NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. It highlights Hubble's view of the galaxy NGC 1275 superimposed on a ground-based image. Roman’s Wide Field Instrument field of view is highlighted. Roman’s images will have the resolution of Hubble while covering an area about 100 times larger in a single pointing.
The wide field image for Abell 426 is composed of a combination of the Digitized Sky Survey and an image by Petri Kehusmaa.

Comparison of Hubble and expected Rubin Observatory LSST data resolution. (L) BVz color image from the Hubble CANDELS field with θ = 0.1” and r ≈ 28.5. Roman will have comparable resolution. (R) Simulated Rubin LSST image made by degrading Hubble data to Rubin resolution of θ = 0.6”. In the Rubin image, the galaxy is blended with surrounding objects. Correlating overlapping Rubin and Roman imagery would make it possible to develop machine learning algorithms to deblend Rubin imagery that does not overlap with Roman.
