Caption

This video of the Eagle Nebula showcases the superb resolution and wide field of view of NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. It begins with a Hubble image of the famous Pillars of Creation superimposed on a ground-based image. The view then zooms out to show the full field of view of Roman's Wide Field Instrument. Roman's images will have the resolution of Hubble while covering an area about 100 times larger in a single pointing.
