No single telescope can tell the whole story of our Universe!
As we look ahead to the launch of #NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a new chapter in cosmic exploration is about to begin.
Each #NASA space telescope sees the Universe differently - revealing its stars,
A spacewalk starts long before the hatch opens. 👨🚀🛰️
Astronaut Anil Menon says preparations can begin around 8 hours earlier, with equipment checks, suit-up procedures and breathing 100% oxygen before the EVA.
Hours of work go into every step outside the ISS.
