NASA has two main initiatives to travel over the turtle. The Roman telescope will carry a technology demonstration instrument called Roman coronagraph. It will test new technologies for blocking starlight and making faint planets visible. That is the peak performance of the coronagraph should be able to directly image a planet the size and temperature of Jupiter orbiting a star like our sun and at a similar distance from that star. With its microlensing survey and coronagraphic observation, new details of the diversity of planetary systems showing how common solar systems like our own may be across the galaxy. This on advances in coronagraph technology will be needed to build a coronagraph that can detect a planet like Earth. NASA is working on a concept for such a mission currently named the orbital worlds observatory. That is for the bulletins for this evening. This is zero AR net control for the Colorado astronomy net.
