ALT A person in a head-to-toe white clean room suit holds a large purple "boarding pass" for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in Goddard's large cleanroom. The boarding pass includes an image of the 18 detectors, an artist concept image of the telescope, a QR code, and the NASA logo. "Roman Telescope" is written where the name would go.

ALT The plate attached to the Roman telescope, where a memory card containing names will be attached. It's a tall, thin, rectangular silver plate. At the top of the plate is the stylized Nancy Grace Roman name logo. Below is the silhouette of Roman's 18-square detectors in their iconic arch shape. Text below that reads "NASA's first chief astronomer, Nancy Grace Roman, persevered through barriers and made powerful space telescopes a reality. She envisioned a world where everyone had access to, and enthusiasm for, science. This observatory is the continuation of her legacy and dream." Below the text is an illustration of Dr. Roman looking up, next to her name and the years 1925-2018. Below the years is a small box where the memory card will be affixed. The plate is held down with two large bolts at the top and bottom.

ALT The fully assembled Roman telescope in the clean room, standing upright. It's a silver cylinder with solar panels peeking out from behind both sides like wings. The hood is deployed, like a black sun visor on a baseball cap. Orange lifts and people in white cleanroom suits surrounded the telescope, highlighting how large it is. The unfolded lifts only reach about one-quarter of the way up the telescope's body. Instrumentation and cables are visible in a section about one-third of the way up the body. Thousands of tiny squares on the wall behind the telescope are air filters for the clean room.

ALT Black and white graphic with purple accents. Text on purple background: “Mostly A’s: You’re Webb! The golden child. You stand out in a crowd, always going all out. Your attention to detail is obvious in everything from your fashion to your working style, where you’re constantly diving down a rabbit hole to get the full backstory.” An illustrated Webb sits below the text.

Hit an obstacle? No problem, you know how to pivot on a dime, because you’ve always got the bigger picture in mind.” An illustrated Roman telescope sits above the text.

Trends come and go, but your classic style and legacy of excellence speak for themselves.” An illustrated Hubble sits in the middle of the text.

ALT A black and white photo of Dr. Nancy Grace Roman sitting at a booth in a control console at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center. She has her right arm extended over the desk in front of her, pointing at some data on the console. The angled top of the desk is covered in instrumentation and buttons.

ALT Illustration of the gravitational lensing process Roman will use to identify neutron stars. Along the left side, 3 boxes are evenly spaced. The top box says Background Star, the middle Neutron Star, and the bottom Image Captured by Telescope. Along the top, 5 steps are labeled. The first says Before Lensing. The background star has an arrow running in a straight line to the image captured by telescope, where the star looks the same. The next 3 steps are all labeled During Lensing. The background star looks the same, but there are two arrows extending to the image captured by telescope. The second step has the arrow on the left bent out at an sharper angle, and the left arrow bent slightly. In the image captured by telescope, the star is offset to the left. In the third step, both arrows are widely angled out, and the imaged star is offset above center. The fourth step is a mirror image of the second. The final step, After Lensing, is a mirror image of the first, Before Lensing.

ALT An observation (labeled \u201CVISTA V V V Survey, Near-infrared) of the Milky Way\u2019s center pointing toward its supermassive black hole, which is labeled Sagittarius A*. At 7 o\u2019clock from center is a small region, outlined with 5 fields of view from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope that are stacked together in a horizontal rectangle. This region is about a third of the image in length and a fifth of the image in width. Within that same region are diagonal lines that alternate between orange and blue. A legend at the bottom left shows two Hubble instruments. One of them, marked with an orange diamond, is labeled \u201CW F C 3 / U V I S.\u201D The other, marked with a blue diamond, is labeled \u201CA C S / W F C.\u201D The background is a field of stars, gas, and dust that appear gray, except the center third that runs from the left to the right of the frame, which is composed of brown filaments of dust and gas. The tiny region surrounding Sagittarius A star appears orange.
