Wondering how Roman actually travels out to L2? Here is a cool animation which also includes JWST's orbit, from the NASA scientific visualization studio svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5673#media_g...

Ok, here’s my version of #RomanLaunch. Different angle taken from OSB II facility.

I can’t believe what a special day it was to celebrate this momentous occasion for @nancyromansci.bsky.social surrounded by my family and 5000 of my closest friends and colleagues. Here are just a few snapshots. #RomanLaunch

It's official! We at @stsci.edu are ready for #NASARoman.

Great googly moogly, 12:1 oversubscription! roman.ipac.caltech.edu/page/cycle-1

Roman Cycle 1 stats announced first on @nancyromansci.bsky.social!

Roman for Scientists@nancyromansci.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Roman Cycle 1 CfP closed with a stellar response! 🚀 We received 374 proposals, including 309 for data analysis, theory & lab astrophysics. 65 proposals requested new observations totaling 14,386 hrs of telescope time, a ~12:1 over-subscription rate by hours. 🔗 Get all the stats: bit.ly/4sEoWO5

I'm excited to announce my newest paper out on arxiv: Expanding the High-z Supernova Frontier with JWST 🚀 We just used JWST to push transient astronomy to z ~ 5, discovering 68 supernovae...all without a dedicated time-domain survey. Here’s what we found 👇🧵 1/n

It's been an exciting 2025. I haven't done a great job promoting my work on social media, so over the next couple weeks, I'll make an attempt to summarize three of my biggest papers. Stay tuned...we'll see if I actually get this done.

Roman Time Domain Session at 10am! #AAS247

Roman for Scientists@nancyromansci.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Happy Thursday #AAS247! Today we have two Roman sessions: 9am - Roman iPosters, Exhibit Hall 10am - Preparing for Time Domain Science with Roman 226C

As I have the past 3 years, I am organizing the a “Foodie Dinner” on Wednesday night, January 7th at 7pm. Location will be sent to those who sign up. At the current time, I have 3 spots left. PM if interested. #AAS247

Check them out #AAS247

🚀The Roman Cycle 1 Call for Proposals is OPEN! Unlock new discoveries with the Wide Field Instrument—your science starts here! Apply for funding to analyze Roman data, perform theory/lab research, and propose new observations. 🔭☄️ 📅 Deadline: Mar 17, 2026 (5 PM PDT) 📝 bit.ly/4q3jbbL

Got a look at @nasaromantelescope.bsky.social this morning. And it was looking right back.

The countdown is ON. ⏳ We’re one year from launch — and kicking off the Ready, Set, Roman! Training Series! First up: Tools for Exploring Roman’s Core Community Surveys Nov 4 (Tomorrow!) • 1 PM EST Get hands-on with the data that will shape a decade of discovery. bit.ly/4oP3c06

🚀The Roman Coronagraph Community Participation Program (CPP) is meeting this week at IPAC in Pasadena, CA! The team is gearing up for commissioning, observations with the Coronagraph, and preparing for the launch of Roman next year. Exciting times ahead! ✨🪐 www.romancoronagraph.space

I don't post a lot, but I am particularly proud of this paper. It's the first observational sample of binary companions to stripped envelope supernovae. And places constraints on the binary evolution physics. It only took me 10 years to build with HST! arxiv.org/abs/2508.12677

In these turbulent times for science, I can't resist putting out my "Case For Space". It's sometimes a little scary to speak up, but here I go. I hope this doesn't go viral. 😉

Let's get back to Euclid's Early Release Observation (ERO)! 🔭 This is a new version of mine of the Messier 78 observation by Euclid. I wanted to improve my first try from months ago, so here is it! M78 is a nebula located some 1,350 light years away. HD: flic.kr/p/2r6juDX
