Engineers at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, have completed their final inspection of a key element for the agency\u2019s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: the primary mirror. This 7.9-foot (2.4-meter) mirror will collect and focus light from cosmic objects near and far, helping Roman capture stunning panoramas of space.<\/p>\n
