NASA activated the telescope's primary instrument and tested its coronagraph, producing a first test image where stars appear neon-green. The $4.3 billion observatory features a 300MP camera. Additionally, NASA reports that fuel savings may more than double the mission's potential lifespan to 22 years. These initial milestones confirm the hardware is functional as the telescope prepares for its full scientific mission.Why it mattersThe Roman telescope is designed for hi
