NASA is preparing for a giant leap in the search for alien worlds. The upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is expected to discover around 100,000 new exoplanets, dramatically expanding humanity's knowledge of planets beyond our solar system and potentially rewriting what scientists know about planetary formation across the Milky Way.
The milestone would dwarf the nearly 6,300 exoplanets discovered so far, making Roman one of the most powerful planet-hunting missions ever launched.
