	tl;dr: NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has launched and is on a three-month journey of about one million miles to its final orbit, where it will study the dark universe. Construction of the observatory was recently completed by technicians ahead of its launch. The mission page offers press kits, videos, image galleries, and an interactive diagram for exploring the telescope.
	HN Discussion: ↑Excitement about open public data enabling amateur discoveries and exploration ↑Roman's wide field of view makes it uniquely valuable for sky surveys •Being under budget/on schedule is attributable to repurposing spy satellite hardware •NASA should build redundant copies to mitigate launch failure risk ↑Anticipation for combined discoveries from Roman, Rubin, Hubble, and JWST
