00:01:24UPFRONT -- COMING UP, A LOOK AT THE BRIEFING.
00:01:28>> HELLO AND WELCOME TO NASA'S
00:01:34KENNEDY SPACE CENTER ON FLORIDA'S SPACE THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE SCIENCE NEWS
00:01:39CONFERENCE FOR A MISSION THAT WILL TRANSFORM OUR VIEW OF THE COSMOS.
00:01:44I'M WITH NASA'S OFFICE OF COMMUNICATION.
00:01:46WE ARE ONE DAY AWAY FROM A
00:01:49MOMENT YEARS IN THE MAKING.
00:01:51ROMAN WILL EXPLORE MYSTERIES
00:01:53FROM DARK ENERGY AND DARK MATTER TO PLANETS BEYOND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
00:01:58TODAY I'M JOINED BY A PANEL OF EXPERTS TO GIVE YOU A BROAD
00:02:02OVERVIEW OF ROMAN'S SCIENCE.
00:02:04THE DIRECTOR OF THE ASTROPHYSICS
00:02:08DIVISION, THE SENIOR PROJECT
00:02:11SCIENTIST, VANESSA BAILEY, THE
00:02:17INSTRUMENT SCIENTIST AT THE JET PROPULSION LABORATORY, KRISTIN
00:02:21MCQUINN THE ROMAN SCIENCE LEAD
00:02:27AT THE SPACE SCIENCE TELESCOPE
00:02:29INSTITUTE, ANGELINE FROM CALTECH .
00:02:35THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FROM JOINING. WE WILL TAKE QUESTIONS AFTER OPENING COMMENTS FROM OUR
00:02:40MISSION EXPERTS ARE THOSE OF YOU WATCHING ONLINE CAN SUBMIT A QUESTION AT ANY TIME BY TAGGING
00:02:44@NASA.
00:02:47NOW TO START OUR DISCUSSION I
00:02:49WILL KICK IT OVER TO SEAN. >> THANK YOU. I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TO TALK
00:02:53ABOUT THE ROMAN SPACE TELESCOPE
00:02:55AND ABOUT TWO INCREDIBLE THINGS
00:02:59HAPPENING IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW.
00:03:00THE FIRST OF THOSE IS NOT UNIQUE
00:03:04TO THIS ROOM. IT IS HAPPENING IN EVERY ROOM ON
00:03:06THE PLANET RIGHT NOW IN EVERY CORNER OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND
00:03:10FRANKLY ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE OUTER REACHES OF THE UNIVERSE.
00:03:13AND THAT IS THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF.
00:03:16IT IS EXPANDING OVER TIME AND
00:03:19THAT EXPANSION IS ACCELERATING, GETTING FASTER.
00:03:22WHEN WE BRING THE BRIGHTEST
00:03:25MINDS TOGETHER WE WRITE DOWN EQUATIONS TO EXPLAIN THAT BEHAVIOR.
00:03:29AS YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT, THEY ARE
00:03:31STARTING TO GRASP THE
00:03:35UNDERSTANDING OF THAT PROCESS, DARK ENERGY.
00:03:39ANOTHER COSMIC MYSTERY CALLED
00:03:42DARK MATTER, WHERE WE CAN DETECT THE PRESENCE BUT CANNOT SEE IT,
00:03:46WE DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS THERE, BUT IT MAKES UP MOST OF THE
00:03:49UNIVERSE AND A THIRD MYSTERY, TO
00:03:53SOLVE THAT WE NEED A GOOD CENSUS
00:03:56OF THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE OR PLACES
00:04:00AROUND STARS THAT ARE NOT TOO HOT OR TOO COLD FOR LIFE AND WE NEED TO COMPLETE THAT WHAT WE
00:04:04BUILD TECHNOLOGIES TO LOOK FOR
00:04:07SIGNS OF LIFE ON HABITABLE WORLDS. THOSE COSMIC MYSTERIES ARE
00:04:10THINGS WE DESIGN A SPECIFIC
00:04:14SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT TO HELP US
00:04:16ADDRESS, THAT IS THE NANCY GRACE
00:04:18ROMAN TELESCOPE, A TELESCOPE
00:04:22WITH THE PRECISION OF HUBBLE BUT A FIELD-OF-VIEW 100 TIMES BIGGER
00:04:27AND THOUSAND TIMES FASTER. THAT WILL GIVE US THE CAPABILITY
00:04:30TO BRING DOWN THE DATA THAT GLOBAL SCIENTIST NEED TO ANSWER
00:04:34THOSE FUNDAMENTAL COSMIC MYSTERIES I TALKED ABOUT BUT
00:04:37WITH THOSE DATA COMES A SEPARATE
00:04:42CHALLENGE. HOW TO MAKE SENSE OF IT, ALL THOSE NUMBERS.
00:04:45TO DO THAT WE ASSEMBLED A TEAM
00:04:50OF EXPERTS AND THAT IS THE OTHER SPECIAL THING HAPPENING IN THIS ROOM TODAY THAT IS UNIQUE TO
00:04:53THIS ROOM. YOU WILL HEAR FROM PEOPLE THAT
00:04:57ARE TECHNICAL EXPERTS ABOUT THESE COSMIC CHALLENGES AND HOW
00:05:01THEY ARE LEADING TEAMS OF TECHNICAL EXPERTS TO HELP BRING
00:05:03THOSE DATA DOWN AND DISSEMINATE
00:05:06THEM TO THE WORLD'S OF THE SMARTEST MINDS FROM ACROSS
00:05:10AMERICA CAN HELP US FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE DOING IN THIS UNIVERSE.
00:05:15THE PERSON THAT LED THIS TEAM IS
00:05:19DR. JULIA WHO IS SPEAKING NEXT. >> THANK YOU.
00:05:23I'M THRILLED TO BE HERE.
00:05:27ROMAN IS POISED TO CONDUCT EXTRAORDINARY SURVEYS THAT WILL
00:05:31IMPACT EVERY AREA.
00:05:34WILL PERFORM A REVOLUTIONARY
00:05:37CENSUS OF OTHER STARS AND MAY
00:05:40CONFIRM OUR STANDARD MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE IS INCORRECT AND
00:05:42PUT US ON THE PATH TO FIGURING IT OUT.
00:05:46WE CAN DO ALL THIS BECAUSE ROMANS PRIMARY INSTRUMENT
00:05:50COMBINES EXQUISITE PERFORMANCE
00:05:52SENSITIVITY WITH THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY COVER
00:05:56LARGE PORTIONS OF THE SKY. IT STARTS WITH OUR FIELD-OF-VIEW
00:06:00AND ROMAN WILL SEE MORE THAN 100 TIMES WHAT THE HUBBLE CAN SEE
00:06:04BUT IT IS MORE THAN THAT.
00:06:06ROMAN WILL MOVE AND STOP, BE READY TO TAKE THE NEXT IMAGE
00:06:09QUITE QUICKLY SO WE CAN SURVEY
00:06:12THE SKY MORE THAN 1000 TIMES FASTER.
00:06:15TO PUT THIS INTO CONTEXT A
00:06:18SURVEY THAT WOULD TAKE ONE MONTH
00:06:21WILL TAKE A CENTURY WITH HUBBLE.
00:06:25IT ADDRESSES ENTIRELY NEW
00:06:28AMBITIOUS SCIENCE QUESTIONS WHILE HUBBLE CONTINUES TO DO THE
00:06:30GREAT THINGS HUBBLE DOES.
00:06:34ONE MONTH OF ROMAN OBSERVATIONS
00:06:37WE SURVEY OUR OWN MILKY WAY
00:06:40GALAXY, DETECTION OF UP TO 20 BILLION STARS THAT WOULD
00:06:44REPRESENT THE CATALOG OF
00:06:46ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS FASTER WITH
00:06:51JUST ONE MONTH OF ROMAN OBSERVATIONS. REMAIN SURVEY WILL TAKE OVER A
00:06:54YEAR AND BE REALLY HUGE. WE WOULD NEED OVER HALF A
00:06:57MILLION 4K TV'S TO FULLY DISPLAY
00:07:02THE SIGNAL ROMAN IMAGE FROM OUR LARGEST SURVEY.
00:07:06I DON'T HAVE A FEEL FOR HALF A MILLION 4K TV'S.
00:07:10IT WOULD COVER MANHATTAN CITY
00:07:14BLOCKS OR EL CAPITAN AT YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.
00:07:19BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE BAD.
00:07:24THIS SURVEY WILL CONTAIN OVER 2 BILLION GALAXIES AND ENABLE US
00:07:28TO STUDY HOW THE STARS AND
00:07:31GALAXIES AND CLUSTER OF GALAXIES
00:07:35GREW AND EVOLVE AND WE WILL MEASURE HOW OUR OWN UNIVERSE EXPANDED OVER TIME, MEASURE
00:07:40ACCELERATION AND THESE ARE THE
00:07:43KEYS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO
00:07:44UNLOCK THE FUNDAMENTAL NATURE OF
00:07:49DARK ENERGY IN THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF.
00:07:51OUR UNIVERSE PUTS ON SPECTACULAR
00:07:55COSMIC DISPLAYS EVERY SECOND BUT THEY HAPPEN QUICKLY.
00:07:57WITH ROMANS VISION WE WILL NOT ONLY CATCH THESE EVENTS BUT SEE
00:08:02MANY AT ONCE, IDENTIFY TENS OF
00:08:05THOUSANDS OF SUPERNOVAE AND TRACK THE EXPANSION OF THE
00:08:09UNIVERSE.
00:08:11WE WILL DETECT BRIGHT FLARES AS STARS ARE SWEPT INTO A
00:08:15SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE AND SEE
00:08:17EXTRAORDINARY OUTBURSTS WHEN
00:08:21THEY MERGED TO FORM A BLACK HOLE IN THESE STUDIES ARE EVEN MORE
00:08:23EXCITING NOW.
00:08:25RECENT OBSERVATIONS HINT THAT OUR STANDARD MODEL OF THE
00:08:30UNIVERSE IS INCORRECT. ROMAN WILL BE ABLE TO CONFIRM
00:08:32THIS AND PROVIDE DATA NEEDED TO
00:08:35SUPPORT THE NEW PHENOMENON.
00:08:39WE'RE LOOKING TO GO BEYOND
00:08:40STANDARD MODELS AND LOOK AT NEW
00:08:44PHENOMENON FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:08:51PERIODICALLY WE MONITOR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF STARS EVERY FEW MINUTES.
00:08:54BUT WE ARE NOT ONLY GOING TO BE MEASURING MILLIONS OF STARS, WE
00:08:57WILL BE DISCOVERING A HOST, UP
00:09:01TO 40 TIMES MORE THAN A KNOWN
00:09:02TODAY SO THINK OF THIS AS THE
00:09:07LARGEST CENSUS WE HAVE EVER DONE OF OTHER PLANETS IN OUR GALAXY. 'ROMANS FAST REACH WILL ALLOW US
00:09:11TO FIND THE WEIRD AND THE RARE,
00:09:14DISCOVERING EXOPLANETS, DISCS,
00:09:16ISOLATED BLACK HOLES AND NEUTRON
00:09:19STARS AND RUNAWAY SUPERMASSIVE
00:09:23BLACK HOLES WILL BECOME ROUTINE AND REDEFINE WHAT IT MEANS TO
00:09:26FIND A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK. EXTRAORDINARY OBSERVATIONS
00:09:28GENERATE EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNTS OF DATA.
00:09:30WE HAVE COLLECTED IN OUR TEST
00:09:33CAMPAIGNS MORE DATA THAN HUBBLE
00:09:36AND WEBB COMBINED.
00:09:41USERS CAN ACCESS AND USE THE
00:09:43DATA CORRECTLY.
00:09:48OUR DATA ARE IMMEDIATELY
00:09:52AVAILABLE TO ALL SO HIGH SCHOOL CLASS IN KENTUCKY CAN ACCESS NEW ROMAN DATA THE SAME TIME AS A
00:09:57PROFESSOR IN PRINCETON. WHAT MAKES ME MOST EXCITED HIS DISCOVERY POTENTIAL.
00:10:01WE WILL HAVE 2000 OBJECTS THAT
00:10:03ARE ONE AND A MILLION, EXPLORING
00:10:06PATCHES OF SKY WITH EXQUISITE SENSITIVITY AND EXPLORE NEW
00:10:10THINGS LIKE A BUMP IN THE NIGHT. I VERY MUCH HOPE AND IN FACT EXPECT THAT THE MOST EXCITING SCIENCE FROM ROMAN WILL BE A
00:10:14SURPRISE, SOMETHING WE COULDN'T PREDICT, AND THAT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT DEEPER SET OF QUESTIONS FOR FUTURE MISSIONS TO
00:10:18ADDRESS.
00:10:19BUT THERE'S MORE.
00:10:25WE HAVE A SECOND INSTRUMENT. AND MY COLLEAGUE DR. VANESSA BAILEY WILL TELL YOU ALL
00:10:27ABOUT THAT.
00:10:31>> THANK YOU.
00:10:34I'M VERY, VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE AND THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE AS WELL.
00:10:37SO NOW FROM THE VERY WIDE TO THE VERY NARROW AND THE VERY DEEP WITH THE SECOND INSTRUMENT ON
00:10:40BOARD ROMAN, THE CHRONOGRAPH INSTRUMENT. WE'LL GET TO WHY IT'S CALLED
00:10:44THAT IN A MINUTE. MAYBE YOU'VE SEEN THIS FIRST
00:10:47IMAGE HERE WHEN THE VOYAGER
00:10:49SPACECRAFT TURNED AROUND, LOOKED BACK AT EARTH, AND SAW WHAT CARL
00:10:52SAGAN CALLED THE PALE BLUE DOT. SO IT MAY SURPRISE YOU TO LEARN
00:10:56THAT ASTRONOMERS HAVE ALREADY TAKEN PICTURES OF PLANETS NOT
00:10:59ONLY IN OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM BUT
00:11:00AROUND OTHER STARS AS WELL.
00:11:06WE CAN'T YET TAKE PICTURES LIKE THIS OF EARTH-LIKE EXOPLANETS, BUT THAT'S ONE OF NASA'S MOST
00:11:09AMBITIOUS LONG-TERM GOALS, AND
00:11:13ROMAN WILL HELP SET THE TECHNOLOGICAL FOUNDATION FOR
00:11:15THAT CAPABILITY.
00:11:19SO IF YOU TRY TO IMAGINE SEEING AN EXOPLANET NEXT TO A STAR, IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
00:11:22CHALLENGING.
00:11:25THE STARLIGHT IS GOING TO BE OVERWHELMINGLY BRIGHT. IT'S LIKE TRYING TO SEE A FIREFLY NEXT TO A LIGHTHOUSE
00:11:29HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY.
00:11:35WE CAN USE A TECHNOLOGY CALLED THE CORONAGRAPH INSIDE OF OUR CAMERA TO BLOCK THAT LIGHTHOUSE
00:11:37AND SEE THE FIREFLY. WITH TODAY'S OBSERVATORIES, AS
00:11:41YOU'LL SEE IN THIS NEXT IMAGE, INCLUDING THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE AND THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE, ASTRONOMERS
00:11:44ALREADY USE CORONAGRAPHS TO VIEW HOT, YOUNG, GLOWING SUPER
00:11:47JUPITERS IN THE INFRARED.
00:11:50THESE PLANETS ARE ONLY A MILLION
00:11:52TIMES FAINTER THAN THEIR STARS.
00:11:57THESE ARE THE FIREFLIES. YOU'RE SEEING ONE EXAMPLE HERE
00:12:01IN THIS IMAGE FROM THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE. ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE, NASA HOPES TO DETECT AN EARTH-LIKE
00:12:04PLANET IN THIS WAY. THAT LITTLE EARTH TWIN WOULD BE 10 BILLION TIMES FAINTER THAN
00:12:08ITS STAR IN VISIBLE LIGHT.
00:12:13AND THAT'S 10,000 TIMES BETTER THAN WHAT WE CAN DO TODAY, WHICH IS JUST TOO GREAT A LEAP TO MAKE
00:12:17IN A SINGLE GENERATION OF
00:12:23INSTRUMENTATION, NO MATTER HOW BRIGHT YOUR ENGINEERS ARE, AND THAT'S OUR PURPOSE AS THE ROMAN
00:12:26CORONOGRAPH IS TO BE THAT
00:12:27INTERMEDIATE STEPPING STONE.
00:12:33WE THINK THAT WE WILL BE CAPABLE OF DETECTING EXOPLANETS THAT ARE ABOUT 100 MILLION TIMES FAINTER THAN THEIR STARS.
00:12:37AND WITH THAT CAPABILITY IN THE
00:12:38NEXT IMAGE WE ARE HOPING TO SEE
00:12:42OUR PALE BROWN DOT INSTEAD OF A
00:12:43PALE BLUE DOT, A JUPITER TWIN
00:12:47AROUND A NEARBY STAR USING VISIBLE LIGHT REFLECTED FROM ITS
00:12:49CLOUD TOPS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
00:12:56AND THEN WE CAN USE THAT LIGHT TO STUDY THE COMPOSITION OF ITS
00:12:57ATMOSPHERE.
00:13:04WE'RE ALSO GOING TO DO, I HOPE, SOME DETECTIVE WORK ABOUT HOW PLANETS FORM AND EVOLVE.
00:13:08SO JUST LIKE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST LOOKS AT THE REMNANT BUILDINGS AND BELONGINGS TO UNDERSTAND AN
00:13:10ANCIENT CIVILIZATION, WE'RE
00:13:14GOING TO LOOK AT THE RUBBLE, THE ASTEROID BELTS, AND THE DEBRIS DISCS TO SEARCH FOR CLUES TO HOW THE PLANETARY SYSTEMS FORMED AND
00:13:18EVOLVED.
00:13:22AND THE QUESTION OF COURSE IS HOW DO WE DO ALL OF THESE
00:13:24INCREDIBLE NEW OBSERVATIONS?
00:13:29WHAT TECHNOLOGY DO WE USE? WELL, WE BUILD NOT ONLY AN INSTRUMENT BUT ALSO AN
00:13:32OBSERVATORY THAT WORK TOGETHER
00:13:42IN CONCERT. SO INSIDE OUR INSTRUMENT WE USE SOMETHING CALLED A CORONAGRAPH
00:13:45TO BLOCK THE STARLIGHT. THAT'S OUR NAMESAKE.
00:13:48IT'S A BIT LIKE HOW ON A BRIGHT DAY YOU HOLD UP YOUR HAND TO BLOCK THE SUN. MAYBE IF YOU'RE YOU'RE HERE IN
00:13:52PERSON YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT TOMORROW MORNING DURING LAUNCH IF YOU'RE LOOKING EAST. AND IN FACT, MORE THAN 100 YEARS AGO ASTRONOMERS USED
00:13:56CORONAGRAPHS TO CREATE AN ARTIFICIAL ECLIPSE TO STUDY THE SUN'S CORONA. THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE NAME.
00:14:00WE'VE SINCE ADAPTED IT TO BLOCK LIGHT FROM OTHER STARS TO SEE THE FAINT PLANETS ORBITING
00:14:03AROUND THEM. AND ROMAN IS NOT THE FIRST NASA
00:14:06MISSION TO FLY A CORONAGRAPH, BUT WE ARE THE FIRST TO FLY WHAT WE CALL AN ACTIVE CORONOGRAPH
00:14:10THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THIS ANIMATION HERE.
00:14:14WE'VE ADDED SO-CALLED DEFORMABLE MIRRORS THAT CAN BEND AND FLEX
00:14:18AND CORRECT FOR THE MOST MINUTE POLISHING OR MISALIGNMENTS
00:14:22ERRORS IN THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD OTHERWISE CAUSE STARLIGHT GLARE
00:14:26AND OBSCURE OUR EXOPLANETS. THESE DEFORMABLE MIRRORS ARE A
00:14:30REAL ENGINEERING FEAT.
00:14:32THEY CAN BE COMMANDED WITH THE
00:14:36PRECISION APPROACHING THE SIZE
00:14:40OF AN ATOM, AND THIS IS WHAT REALLY ALLOWS US TO MAKE THIS
00:14:42TRANSFORMATIVE PERFORMANCE LEAP.
00:14:45THAT'S NOT ALL. THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER KEY TECHNOLOGIES IN THE INSTRUMENT LIKE EXCEEDINGLY SENSITIVE
00:14:49DETECTORS AND EXQUISITE TEMPERATURE CONTROL THAT TRULY WERE ENGINEERING FEATS IN THEIR
00:14:52OWN RIGHT. AND EVEN THE BEST DEFORMABLE MIRRORS COULDN'T COMPENSATE FOR
00:14:56AN UNSTABLE TELESCOPE, AND
00:14:58LUCKILY WE'RE ON BOARD ROMAN. THAT'S AN EXQUISITELY STABLE
00:15:03OBSERVATORY.
00:15:06ALL OF THESE PIECES WILL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER AS ONE SYSTEM THAT IN FACT IS OUR PRIMARY PURPOSE
00:15:10TO DEMONSTRATE THESE
00:15:11TECHNOLOGIES TOGETHER. AT THE SAME TIME, WE'RE GOING TO
00:15:15DO A LOT OF REALLY EXCITING
00:15:18SCIENCE, UM, AND ALL OUR DATA WILL BE PUBLIC, AND I'M VERY
00:15:21HAPPY TO PASS TO DR. KRISTEN MCQUINN TO TELL YOU MORE.
00:15:26DR. MCQUINN: THANKS, VANESSA.
00:15:31SO THE ROLE OF THE SCIENCE OPERATIONS CENTER FOR ROMAN AT THE SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE IS TO BOTH SUPPORT THE OBSERVATORY AND HELP TURN
00:15:35ROMAN'S OBSERVATIONS INTO SCIENCE. STSDI IS A NASA FUNDED INSTITUTE
00:15:39WITH A LONG HISTORY OF SERVING
00:15:40NASA'S FLAGSHIP OBSERVATORIES,
00:15:47THE HUBBLE AND JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE, AND FOR ROMAN WE CONTINUE THAT WORK AND WE'RE
00:15:51FOCUSING ON FOUR MAIN AREAS. FIRST, WE PLAN FOR AND SCHEDULE
00:15:54ROMAN'S OBSERVATIONS FOR THE 5 YEAR PRIME MISSION. MORE THAN 1000 SCIENTISTS
00:15:58CONTRIBUTED TO HELP DEFINE WHAT
00:16:00ROMAN NEEDS TO OBSERVE IN ORDER TO ANSWER SOME OF THE BIGGEST OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS IN MODERN
00:16:04ASTROPHYSICS.
00:16:06WHAT'S THE NATURE OF DARK ENERGY
00:16:11AND DARK MATTER?
00:16:11HOW DID OUR MILKY WAY COME TO
00:16:16BE AND HOW MANY EARTH-LIKE
00:16:20PLANETS ARE OUT THERE? AT STSCI, WE TAKE THE HIGH-LEVEL PLAN DEFINED BY THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND WE TRANSLATE THAT
00:16:24INTO A DETAILED 5 YEAR OBSERVING PLAN. I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS AS PLANNING, YOU KNOW, YOUR DREAM VACATION.
00:16:28YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TAKE A TOUR OF EUROPE, AND NOW YOU FINALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO
00:16:30IT, AND YOU HAVE TO PLAN YOUR DETAILED ITINERARY, TAKING INTO
00:16:33ACCOUNT TRAIN SCHEDULES AND MUSEUM HOURS AND BUDGET CONSTRAINTS.
00:16:37IT'S COMPLICATED. PLANNING ROMAN'S 5 YEARS OF
00:16:42OBSERVATIONS ALL AT ONCE IS SIMILAR TO PLANNING THE VACATION OF YOUR DREAMS, EXCEPT AT A MUCH
00:16:46LARGER SCALE AND WITH VERY, VERY
00:16:48COMPLEX TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS.
00:16:51SECOND, WE PROCESS, ARCHIVE, AND
00:16:53MAKE ACCESSIBLE ROMAN'S DATA. ROMAN WILL GENERATE AN
00:16:57EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF DATA AND INFORMATION ABOUT OUR UNIVERSE.
00:17:00REALIZING THE SCIENTIFIC POTENTIAL OF THAT INFORMATION
00:17:03MEANS THAT WE NEED TO TRANSFORM THE RAW STARLIGHT THAT'S
00:17:07CAPTURED BY THE TELESCOPE INTO
00:17:08SCIENCE-READY DATA.
00:17:11SO AT STSCI WE'LL BE RECEIVING, WE'LL BE RECEIVING THE DATA TO
00:17:16PROCESS IT, AND I THINK ABOUT
00:17:20THIS AS IT IS SIMILAR TO TAKING THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS ON YOUR
00:17:23PHONE EVERY DAY, AND BEFORE YOU
00:17:26WANT TO SHARE AND POST IT, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THE LIGHT IS
00:17:28BALANCED, THAT IMPERFECTIONS ARE
00:17:31REMOVED, AND THAT MAYBE YOU'VE TAGGED EVERY PERSON, EVENT, YOU
00:17:35KNOW, OR PICTURES OF YOUR CAT
00:17:36BEFORE YOU MAKE THEM SEARCHABLE.
00:17:40SO WE'RE DOING THAT FOR ROMAN. WE'LL RECEIVE THOUSANDS OF IMAGES EVERY DAY. WE'LL CALIBRATE THEM, ALIGN
00:17:44THEM, MAKE THEM SEARCHABLE, AND MAKE THEM ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ON TIMESCALES OF
00:17:47ABOUT A DAY.
00:17:49WE'RE ALSO WORKING TO MAKE
00:17:53ACCESS TO AN EXPLORATION OF
00:17:58ROMAN DATA EASY AND INTUITIVE, WHICH IS, WHICH IS REALLY
00:18:01IMPORTANT TO ACCELERATE SCIENCE. TRADITIONALLY, ASTRONOMERS WOULD DOWNLOAD DATA ONTO THEIR LAPTOP
00:18:05TO ANALYZE.
00:18:07ROMAN DATA IS TOO BIG TO DO
00:18:10THAT, SO INSTEAD WE BUILT A CLOUD-BASED DIGITAL WORKSPACE
00:18:14CALLED THE ROMAN RESEARCH NEXUS WHERE RESEARCHERS CAN LOG IN
00:18:17THROUGH A SIMPLE WEB BROWSER.
00:18:20AND ANALYZE ANY PART OF ROMAN'S 20,000 TERABYTES OF DATA.
00:18:23THIS IS A MAJOR SHIFT FOR THE
00:18:25WAY ASTRONOMICAL RESEARCH IS
00:18:27DONE, AND I THINK IT'S LIKE A LITTLE LIKE THE EVOLUTION OF
00:18:30WATCHING MOVIES AT HOME.
00:18:32BACK IN THE DAY, WE WOULD RENT MOVIES FROM BLOCKBUSTER TO TAKE HOME FOR THOSE WHO REMEMBER
00:18:37THAT. AND THEN LATER WE HAD DVDS
00:18:41MAILED TO US BY NETFLIX, AND TODAY WE HAVE STREAMING SERVICES THAT BRING THE CONTENT RIGHT INTO OUR HOME.
00:18:45WE'RE ALSO DEVELOPING THE
00:18:47CAPABILITIES TO ALLOW SCIENTISTS
00:18:50TO EASILY EXPLORE ROMAN'S HUGE
00:18:52IMAGES WHILE ALSO QUICKLY BEING ABLE TO FIND SPECIFIC TYPES OF
00:18:56PLANETS, STARS, GALAXIES, OR COSMIC STRUCTURE FOR DEEP
00:18:58ANALYSIS. THIS IS A LITTLE LIKE THE
00:19:01FUNCTIONALITY OF GOOGLE MAPS, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE WORLD.
00:19:04YOU CAN ZOOM IN TO A LOCAL
00:19:07NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU CAN SEARCH FOR A COFFEE SHOP NEAR ME, AND THEN
00:19:10YOU CAN ORDER YOUR CUSTOM CUP OF COFFEE ONLINE.
00:19:14WE ALSO WORK TO TRAIN THE SCIENTISTS ON HOW TO USE THIS
00:19:17NEW OBSERVATORY. EVERY MAJOR TELESCOPE HAS A STEEP LEARNING CURVE, AND
00:19:21ROMAN'S NOT JUST A NEW OBSERVATORY, BUT IT INTRODUCES THIS NEW APPROACH TO INTERACTING
00:19:25WITH ASTRONOMICAL DATA AT SCALE. SO WE TRAIN THE SCIENTISTS, WE
00:19:27SUPPORT THEM.
00:19:31WE'RE ALSO A HUB AND A GATHERING PLACE FOR SCIENTISTS TO COME.
00:19:34WE CAN SHARE OUR EXPERTISE WITH THE BROAD COMMUNITY.
00:19:37AND ALONG WITH OUR MISSION PARTNERS, OUR SCIENTISTS,
00:19:40ENGINEERS, AND TECHNICAL EXPERTS
00:19:42ARE READY TO BUILD THE BRIDGE FROM ROMAN TO THE ASTRONOMICAL
00:19:45WORLDWIDE COMMUNITY, AND WE'RE
00:19:46ALSO REALLY EXCITED TO WATCH THE
00:19:52MYSTERIES AND DISCOVERIES UNFOLD FROM ROMAN AND TO PARTICIPATE IN
00:19:54ROMAN BRINGING A NEW VIEW AND A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
00:19:57UNIVERSE TO US.
00:20:01AND NOW TO DR. LEE ARMAS.
00:20:04DR. ARMAS: THANK YOU, CHRISTY.
00:20:08GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS LEE ARMAS. I'M THE LEAD SCIENTIST AT THE ROMAN SCIENCE SUPPORT CENTER AT
00:20:12IPAC. IPAC IS ON THE CALTECH CAMPUS AT THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.
00:20:15WE PARTNER WITH NASA, THE NSF, JPL, AND THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY TO ADVANCE THE EXPLORATION OF
00:20:19OUR UNIVERSE THROUGH SCIENCE OPERATIONS, DATA ARCHIVING, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, AND
00:20:22ENGAGEMENT.
00:20:29AT IPAC WE HAVE EXPERTS IN COSMOLOGY, GALAXY EVOLUTION, EXOPLANETS, SOLAR SYSTEM SCIENCE, TIME DOMAIN
00:20:33ASTROPHYSICS, AND INFRARED
00:20:34ASTROPHYSICS.
00:20:38WE'VE SUPPORTED OVER OUR 40 YEAR WE'VE SUPPORTED OVER OUR 40
00:20:41YEAR LIFETIME MORE THAN 20 MISSIONS, AND WE'RE EXTREMELY
00:20:46EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE AND
00:20:49THE ROMAN PROJECT TO BRING THE
00:20:51SCIENCE CENTER FUNCTIONS TO THE ENTIRE ASTRONOMICAL COMMUNITY.
00:20:54SO I THOUGHT I WOULD REVIEW A FEW OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT
00:20:57WE HAVE FOR ROMAN AT THE SSC.
00:20:59FIRST, WE HAVE THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCIENCE
00:21:03DATA PIPELINES FOR WIDE FIELD SPECTROSCOPY AND THE GALACTIC BULGE TIME DOMAIN SURVEY.
00:21:07FOR THE WIDE FIELD INSTRUMENT,
00:21:08SO BESIDES TAKING EXQUISITE,
00:21:13HIGHLY ACCURATE PICTURES OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, ROMAN ALSO
00:21:17TAKES SPECTRA WHERE WE BREAK UP THE LIGHT FROM EVERY SINGLE
00:21:20OBJECT IN THE ENTIRE FIELD OF
00:21:23VIEW INTO ITS CONSTITUENT COLORS TO PROVIDE A FINGERPRINT OF EVERY SINGLE STAR AND GALAXY IN
00:21:27THE FIELD OF VIEW. SO FOR ONE OF OUR HIGH LATITUDE
00:21:30SURVEYS FOR ROMAN, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET SPECTRA FOR MORE THAN 10 MILLION GALAXIES JUST
00:21:33LIKE OUR MILKY WAY WHEN THE UNIVERSE WAS LESS THAN HALF OF
00:21:36ITS CURRENT AGE, AND THAT'S WHEN IT STARTED ACCELERATING AND
00:21:39THAT'S GOING TO PROVIDE EVERYONE
00:21:44WITH A 3D MAP OF THE UNIVERSE AT THE TIME WHEN DARK ENERGY BECAME
00:21:48VERY IMPORTANT. FROM THE GALACTIC BULGE TIME
00:21:52DOMAIN SURVEY, WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR MORE THAN 200 MILLION STARS AND FIND THOUSANDS OF
00:21:55EXOPLANETS.
00:22:00BESIDES THE SCIENCE DATA PIPELINES, I WANTED TO MENTION
00:22:03THAT WE THAT WE THAT WE DO AT
00:22:06IPEC THAT WE PICK UP THE
00:22:08EXQUISITELY CALIBRATED DATA FROM
00:22:13THE SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE
00:22:14INSTITUTE.
00:22:19WE PROCESS IT FURTHER TO PRODUCE THOSE SPECTRA TO FIND THOSE EXOPLANETS, AND THEN WE PASS IT BACK TO THE ARCHIVE FOR THE
00:22:22ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC TO USE. WE ALSO SUPPORT THE PLANNING AND
00:22:25OPERATIONS OF THE CHRONOGRAPH INSTRUMENT ON ROMAN.
00:22:28THAT VANESSA WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT.
00:22:31WE MANAGED THE COMMUNITY PROPOSAL AND PEER REVIEW PROCESS FOR ROMAN OBSERVATORY FOR
00:22:34OBSERVING TIME AND DATA ANALYSIS FUNDING.
00:22:36WE RECENTLY HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL CYCLE 1 CALL WITH
00:22:39MORE THAN 350 PROPOSALS CAME IN FROM THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
00:22:42FOR MORE THAN 22,300
00:22:44INVESTIGATORS FROM 15 COUNTRIES.
00:22:50THE ENTIRE WORLD IS EXTREMELY EXCITED TO USE ROMAN AND GET TO
00:22:52THE SCIENCE FOR ROMAN.
00:22:54FINALLY, WE ALSO ENGAGED THE
00:22:56COMMUNITY, THE ASTRONOMICAL
00:22:59COMMUNITY, AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT
00:23:02ROMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND EXOPLANET SCIENCE, AND I'D LIKE TO THANK
00:23:05YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND SAY WE'RE EXTREMELY EXCITED
00:23:08ABOUT PARTICIPATING IN ROMAN AND
00:23:09GO ROMAN.
00:23:14>> THANK YOU SO MUCH TO OUR EXPERTS. WE WILL NOW BEGIN TAKING QUESTIONS.
00:23:18FOR THOSE IN THE ROOM, JUST RAISE YOUR HAND AND WE'LL GET A MIC OVER TO YOU. AND FOR THOSE ON THE PHONE,
00:23:22PLEASE PRESS ONE TO GET INTO THE
00:23:23QUESTION QUEUE.
00:23:26AND WE'LL START OVER HERE, GENTLEMEN IN THE MIDDLE. YEAH, WITH THE JACKET RIGHT
00:23:30THERE.
00:23:34>> GOOD MORNING, JEFF FAUST OF SPACE NEWS ON THE CORONAGRAPH.
00:23:37I'M CURIOUS HOW ITS OBSERVATIONS WILL FIT IN WITH THE SURVEY
00:23:40WORK. I KNOW I THINK YOU'VE GOT A
00:23:43CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME DURING
00:23:45THE FIRST YEAR OR SO TO DEDICATE
00:23:48OBSERVATIONS, BUT HOW WILL THAT
00:23:53WORK? THEN IN THE FUTURE, ONCE THE
00:23:57TECHNOLOGY'S BEEN DEMONSTRATED, HOW WILL IT BE AVAILABLE FOR SOME OF THESE OTHER WORK? THAT'S
00:24:00>> THAT'S RIGHT. SO THE CORONOGRAPH INSTRUMENT HAS AN ALLOCATION OF ABOUT 2000
00:24:03HOURS OF OBSERVING TIME SPREAD
00:24:06OVER THE 1ST 18 MONTHS OF THE MISSION.
00:24:10WE'LL INTERLEAVE OUR
00:24:12OBSERVATIONS WITH THOSE OF THE
00:24:16VARIOUS SURVEYS THAT JULIE WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT, BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE NARROWEST OF SODA STRAWS. WE'RE POINTING AT STAR BY STAR
00:24:20BY STAR RATHER THAN TAKING AN EXPANSIVE SURVEY.
00:24:21SO ROMAN, ROMAN HAS TWO SIDES TO IT BASICALLY.
00:24:25AND YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING IN OUR
00:24:29IN OUR EARLY OPERATIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT CALENDAR
00:24:31YEAR.
00:24:36WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO PUSH AS HARD AS WE CAN, AS FAST AS WE CAN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE INSTRUMENT AND THE OBSERVATORY
00:24:39ARE CAPABLE OF, AND THEN PLAN AN
00:24:41AMBITIOUS PORTFOLIO FOR FOR THE REMAINING 2000 HOURS AFTER THAT.
00:24:45AND THE PATHWAY YOU ASKED THE
00:24:50PATHWAY TO GET INVOLVED, WE HAVE A COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
00:24:52PROGRAM OF SCIENTISTS FROM THE
00:24:55US AND OUR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, AND THEY HOLD WHITE
00:24:59PAPER CALLS AND COMMUNITY
00:25:02ENGAGEMENT EVENTS SO THAT WE CAN
00:25:05BE SURE THAT OUR OBSERVATIONS ARE REPRESENTING WHAT THE COMMUNITY MOST WANTS TO SEE FROM
00:25:08ROMAN CHRONOGRAPH. >> WE'RE GOING TO PIVOT TO A
00:25:12QUESTION FROM THE PHONE. WE HAVE PABLO FUENTE WITH RADIO EL RESPETO ON THE PHONE IF YOU
00:25:15WANT TO GO AHEAD.
00:25:17>> QUESTION, WITH THE AMOUNT OF
00:25:19DATA THAT CAN BE DOWNLOADED ABOUT MORE THAN 1 TERABYTE PER
00:25:22DAY. DO YOU GUYS PLAN TO DISTRIBUTE
00:25:25THAT DATA AMONG TEAMS AROUND THE WORLD TO FOCUS ON SPECIFIC AREAS
00:25:27OF DISCOVERY? THANK YOU.
00:25:34>> I KNOW THE ANSWER IS YES.
00:25:36>> WELL, YOU CAN GO INTO MORE
00:25:39DETAIL ON THAT.
00:25:41>> SO THE ANSWER IS YES, BUT SO
00:25:44AS THE DATA ARE DOWNLOADED, IT
00:25:46GOES STRAIGHT ONTO THE CLOUD, SO WE DON'T HAVE A MODEL OF
00:25:50DISTRIBUTING PHYSICALLY TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT ARCHIVES
00:25:53AROUND THE WORLD.
00:25:55THAT MAY HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE IF
00:25:59SOMEBODY WANTS TO DO A VERY
00:26:02COMPUTE INTENSIVE AI STUDY OF
00:26:05THE DATA, BUT OUR CURRENT
00:26:07BASELINE.
00:26:10IS THAT THERE'S A SINGLE ENTRY
00:26:12POINT IN THE CLOUD AND THAT PEOPLE HAVE, YOU KNOW, ALL GO TO THE DATA.
00:26:15SO IN THAT SENSE, IT'S NOT REALLY SENT OUT TO SEPARATE
00:26:17TEAMS THAT EVERYBODY IS
00:26:23ACCESSING THE DATA IN THE SAME
00:26:25PLACE AT THE SAME TIME AND THAT
00:26:28TIME IS IMMEDIATELY THAT
00:26:34THEY'RE, UM, THAT THEY'RE PROCESSED.
00:26:37SO IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE IN, UH, IN SPAIN OR IN. BALTIMORE OR IN THE HIGH SCHOOL
00:26:40IN KENTUCKY AND I'LL ADD TO THAT THAT WE'VE ALSO ADDED
00:26:44CAPABILITIES IN THIS CLOUD-BASED
00:26:47INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IT'S NOT JUST ONE SCIENTIST THAT CAN LOG IN AND DO ANALYSIS ON THE DATA.
00:26:51THEY CAN SCIENTISTS CAN LOG IN AS TEAMS AND SO THEY CAN SHARE
00:26:55FILES, THEY CAN SHARE THE COMPUTE RESOURCES, THEY CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY RUN ANALYSIS TOGETHER AND SO WE'VE CREATED A
00:26:59COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT IN THIS PLATFORM THAT REALLY IS
00:27:02MEANT TO PROMOTE TEAM SCIENCE. ROMAN'S DATA ARE SO LARGE THAT IT REALLY IS GOING TO TAKE A
00:27:07VILLAGE AND SO WE'VE DESIGNED
00:27:09THIS NEW INFRASTRUCTURE WITH
00:27:11THAT IN MIND.
00:27:14>> WE HAVE ONE ON THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM, BLACK SHIRT.
00:27:18>> THANK YOU, EMMANUEL MASANTI WITH QUESTION FOR JULIE OR
00:27:21VANESSA. I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR, SO THE
00:27:23WHITE FIELD INSTRUMENT AND THE
00:27:26CORONA CORONAGRAPH CAN WORK IN
00:27:28PARALLEL AT THE SAME TIME.
00:27:32>> YES, YOU JUST SAY, OK, I JUST WANTED TO SEE, I DON'T KNOW IF
00:27:35YOU NEEDED TO SWITCH MODES TO CORONA CORONAGRAPH MODE, UH, OR ARE YOU USING THE DATA OF THE WHITE FIELD INSTRUMENT IN ORDER
00:27:40TO FILTER THE LIGHT.
00:27:42>> THE WHITEFIELD INSTRUMENT IS
00:27:45NOT ONLY DOING SCIENCE. UM, ONE OF THE ROLES OF THE WIDE
00:27:49FIELD INSTRUMENT IS TO PROVIDE
00:27:51THE FINE GUIDING FOR THE
00:27:53OBSERVATORY. SO ANY SCIENCE OBSERVATION WITH
00:27:57ROMAN, THE WIDE FIELD INSTRUMENT HAS TO BE OPERATING.
00:28:00SO WHEN WE'RE CONDUCTING, UH, CORONAGRAPH OBSERVATIONS, I
00:28:03MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE NATURE OF THE OBSERVATIONS ARE A LITTLE
00:28:05BIT DIFFERENT TO THE KIND OF
00:28:08SURVEYS THAT WE WOULD DO WITH
00:28:13WIDE FIELD, BUT WE WILL BE COLLECTING.
00:28:16DATA WITH WIDE FIELD WHEN WE'RE
00:28:18TAKING, UM, CORONAGRAPH OBSERVATIONS AND MAYBE VANESSA MIGHT LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS
00:28:21ABOUT WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THE MODE OF THE OBSERVATORY WHEN WE'RE DOING CORONAGRAPH
00:28:25OBSERVATIONS BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S A LITTLE BIT. >> YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK YOU
00:28:29EXPLAINED THAT VERY WELL. WHEN WE SAY USING ONE INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER, WE MEAN WHO'S
00:28:32DRIVING AND THE OTHER IS A PASSENGER.
00:28:35SO WE WILL OBSERVE VERY BRIGHT STARS. WE'RE CHOOSING THESE BRIGHT
00:28:38STARS BECAUSE WE EXPECT TO MAYBE
00:28:50BE ABLE TO SEE PLANETS OR THAT DUSTY DEBRIS AROUND THEM. AND THEN IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THAT TARGETED POINTING AT A
00:28:54SPECIFIC STAR, THE WIDE FIELD INSTRUMENT WILL BE POINTING NEARBY TO ALIGN THE TELESCOPE, AND WE'LL GET THESE
00:28:58SERENDIPITOUS, DEEP OBSERVATIONS WITH THE WIDE FIELD INSTRUMENT BECAUSE THE CHRONOGRAPH NEEDS TO
00:29:02STARE AT A PARTICULAR STAR FOR TENS OF HOURS.
00:29:03>> THEY'RE WONDERFULLY DELIGHTFULLY RANDOM LOCATIONS IN
00:29:07THE SKY, SO WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIND.
00:29:10>> THE SIDE OF THE ROOM, 2ND ROW, 3RD CHAIR IN.
00:29:14>> THANK YOU, IRENE KLOTZ WITH AVIATION WEEK IN SPACE TECHNOLOGY FOR JULIE.
00:29:18I REALIZE THAT PHYSICISTS SPEND THEIR CAREER ANSWERING THIS
00:29:22QUESTION, BUT IN A NUTSHELL, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE
00:29:25STANDARD MODEL AND WHAT ARE THE
00:29:31THEORIES AS TO WHY IT'S WRONG? >> SO LET'S SEE IF I CAN EXPLAIN
00:29:37THE UNIVERSE IN 30 SECONDS.
00:29:38UM SO WE MAKE MEASUREMENTS OF
00:29:43THE UNIVERSE AT VERY, VERY EARLY
00:29:46TIMES WITH THE COSMIC MICROWAVE
00:29:48OBSERVATIONS, AND THAT TELLS US
00:29:51ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE
00:29:54RIGHT, YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO THE
00:29:57BEGINNING.
00:30:00AND THEN WE CAN USE THINGS LIKE SUPERNOVAE AND THE GALAXY SURVEYS TO MAKE MEASUREMENTS OF
00:30:03THE UNIVERSE CLOSE TO NOW.
00:30:06WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT THE UNIVERSE WAS ACCELERATING, WHICH IS COMPLETELY CRAZY, I MEAN IT'S
00:30:10LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU THROW A BALL IN THE AIR AND INSTEAD OF IT COMING DOWN IT GOES ROCKETING
00:30:13AWAY, AND IT'S AS SURPRISING THAT THE UNIVERSE BEHAVES LIKE THAT AS IT WOULD BE TO YOU IF
00:30:17THAT HAPPENED WITH THE BALL, SO.
00:30:21ONE OF THE SIMPLEST WAYS TO
00:30:28EXPLAIN HOW THIS HAPPENS IS THAT THERE'S A PROPERTY OF SPACETIME THAT IS REPULSIVE.
00:30:31AND THE EASIEST WAY IS TO SAY THAT THAT PROPERTY IS CONSTANT,
00:30:34SO WE HAVE A MODEL THAT HAS CONSTANT, YOU KNOW, COSMOLOGICAL
00:30:37CONSTANT.
00:30:39DARK ENERGY IS THAT CONSTANT PROPERTY OF SPACETIME.
00:30:42THAT WE HAVE A GOOD MODEL FOR
00:30:47HOW WE THINK DARK MATTER
00:30:49BEHAVES. WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT WE HAVE A MODEL FOR HOW IT,
00:30:53HOW IT BEHAVES, AND THAT MODEL IS EXQUISITELY GOOD AT TAKING THE EARLY OBSERVATIONS AND
00:30:56ACCURATELY PREDICTING WHAT WE SHOULD SEE NOW AS OUR
00:30:59OBSERVATIONS, AS OUR ABILITY TO
00:31:02MEASURE THE EXPANSION HISTORY OF
00:31:09THE UNIVERSE, AS OUR ABILITY TO MEASURE THE GROWTH OF STRUCTURE
00:31:12IN THE UNIVERSE, BECAUSE OF
00:31:15COURSE MATTER.
00:31:19CLUMPS AND IT CLUMPS. THE NATURE OF THE MATTER AFFECTS HOW IT CLUMPS.
00:31:23AS WE'VE STARTED TO MEASURE THOSE THINGS MORE AND MORE PRECISELY, THERE'S SUGGESTIONS
00:31:27THAT, AH, MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE IT QUITE RIGHT.
00:31:30THE HUBBLE TENSION, WHICH IS THE
00:31:32EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE NOW, IS NOT QUITE CONSISTENT WITH
00:31:36WHAT OUR MODELS WOULD HAVE
00:31:38PREDICTED.
00:31:41THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE AT EARLY TIMES IS NOT QUITE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT OUR MODELS WERE PREDICTED SHOULD BE NOW.
00:31:45THE STRUCTURE IS NOT QUITE WHAT WE PREDICT IT SHOULD BE, AND THEN EXCITINGLY, THERE'S BEEN
00:31:49OBSERVATIONS THAT HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THAT DARK ENERGY, THE COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT, IS IN
00:31:52FACT NOT A CONSTANT AND THAT IT'S VARYING WITH TIME.
00:31:55SO THAT COULD MEAN THAT WE HAVE
00:31:56DYNAMICAL DARK ENERGY, THAT THE
00:32:01PROPERTIES OF DARK ENERGY CHANGE AS THE UNIVERSE EXPANDS.
00:32:04IT COULD MEAN THAT WE NEED TO
00:32:07REVISIT HOW GRAVITY ITSELF
00:32:09WORKS, THAT MAYBE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW GRAVITY
00:32:13WORKS ON VERY, VERY LARGE SCALES IS IN FACT NOT WELL DESCRIBED BY
00:32:16GENERAL RELATIVITY.
00:32:18WHAT I'M SURE OF IS THAT ROMAN'S
00:32:21OBSERVATIONS ARE GOING TO DEFINITIVELY ADDRESS AT LEAST
00:32:24SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS BECAUSE IT WILL DEFINITIVELY SAY, YEAH, THE MODEL WORKS OR IT DOESN'T.
00:32:28AND IF IT DOESN'T, IT'S GOING TO PROVIDE US WITH THE PRECISION
00:32:32AND QUALITY OF DATA THAT WILL ALLOW US TO START TO DISTINGUISH
00:32:35BETWEEN THOSE OPTIONS.
00:32:37THAT WAS MORE THAN 30 SECONDS.
00:32:43>> WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. MANISH ON X ASKS, ROMAN IS
00:32:47DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER DARK ENERGY HAS CHANGED OVER
00:32:50COSMIC HISTORY. IF ROMAN FINDS EVIDENCE THAT DARK ENERGY IS NOT CONSTANT, HOW
00:32:54FUNDAMENTALLY COULD THAT CHANGE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE
00:32:57UNIVERSE AND ITS ULTIMATE FATE?
00:33:03[LAUGHTER] >> 30 SECONDS.
00:33:06>> WELL, THIS IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMILAR TO THE, UM, TO THE LAST,
00:33:09UH, TO THE LAST QUESTION.
00:33:12SO, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THE
00:33:14ACCELERATION OF THE UNIVERSE IS,
00:33:17UM, IS IN FACT SLOWING DOWN AND NOT CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE,
00:33:20THEN THAT IMPLIES THAT WE'RE NOT HEADING FOR A BIG RIP.
00:33:23I MEAN, WHERE EVERYTHING EXPANDS SO MUCH THAT YOU'RE RIPPING, UM,
00:33:28UH, ATOMS AND, UH, PARTICLES APART.
00:33:32SO I'LL JUST SAY THAT IT, YOU
00:33:34KNOW, IT WILL GIVE US THE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED TO
00:33:37FIGURE OUT WHERE IT'S GOING TO GO, BUT THE OPTIONS FOR WHAT
00:33:40THAT COULD BE ARE PRETTY WIDE OPEN RIGHT NOW.
00:33:44>> WE NOW WILL TAKE A QUESTION FROM THE PHONE.
00:33:47WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM MARCIA
00:33:48DUNN WITH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
00:33:52>> GOOD MORNING, THANKS. I'M WONDERING IF SOMEONE CAN
00:33:55TELL ME WHEN SCIENCE OBSERVATIONS WILL ACTUALLY
00:33:59BEGIN, GIVEN AN ON-TIME LAUNCH.
00:34:01I REALIZE IT'LL TAKE 100 DAYS
00:34:03FOR THE TELESCOPE TO GET TO L2,
00:34:05BUT WILL THE INSTRUMENTS BE
00:34:08COMMISSIONED AS IT'S TRAVELING OUT THERE, OR DO YOU HAVE TO
00:34:11WAIT TILL IT GETS THERE? I MEAN, WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE FIRST
00:34:13SCIENCE OBSERVATION PICTURES?
00:34:21THANKS. >> WELL, I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS. WE DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
00:34:24WE'RE OUT THERE. WE WILL BE. TURNING ON AND, UH,
00:34:28COMMISSIONING THE, UM, OBSERVATORY AND THE INSTRUMENTS AS WE'RE ON OUR JOURNEY TO, UH,
00:34:31TO L2.
00:34:36UM, WE CAN START OUR SCIENCE OPERATIONS BEFORE WE'VE ACTUALLY
00:34:40INSERTED INTO THE, INTO OUR ORBIT AT, UH, L2.
00:34:44WE'RE PLANNING TO TAKE, UM, UH,
00:34:453 MONTHS TO COMMISSION THE, UM,
00:34:49THE INSTRUMENTS AND THE, UM, AND
00:34:50THE OBSERVATORY.
00:34:55AND THAT MEANS, YOU KNOW, TURN THINGS ON, MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S CALIBRATED, COLLECT
00:34:58THE INITIAL SET OF DATA THAT ALLOWS THE PIPELINES TO RUN, AND
00:35:02THEN WE'LL START OUR, UM, OUR REGULAR SCIENCE, UH, SCIENCE
00:35:05PROGRAMMING.
00:35:07SO YOU CAN EXPECT FIRST LIGHT,
00:35:11SOMETIME BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF
00:35:12NEXT YEAR.
00:35:16>> FRONT ROW, THIS SIDE OF THE ROOM.
00:35:19>> HI, THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS, KEN GRIMMER. SPACE UP CLOSE.
00:35:22WE'RE ALL VERY EXCITED FOR YOU. I WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE CORONAGRAPH AND THE EXOPLANETS,
00:35:26PLEASE. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW
00:35:30THESE DEFORMABLE MIRRORS WILL OPERATE.
00:35:33YOU'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT
00:35:35ONE STAR AT A TIME OR MANY STARS
00:35:38AT A TIME, AND, AND YOU'LL BE TESTING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS
00:35:42THE BEST WAY TO BLOCK OUT THE LIGHT, AND YOU'LL BE LEARNING
00:35:44OVER TIME.
00:35:55IS THAT RIGHT? AND TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TOO ABOUT THE ATMOSPHERES. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? COULD YOU
00:35:58DETECT WATER AND CARBON AND OXYGEN AND THINGS LIKE THAT?
00:36:01THANKS.
00:36:04I'LL START WITH THE SECOND
00:36:09QUESTION FIRST. IS THE NEW TYPE OF OBJECT WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SEE, IF I'M BEING HONEST, IT'S, IT'S RIGHT AT THE HAIRY EDGE OF WHAT WE CAN
00:36:13DO. OUR MOST CHALLENGING HOPE IS TO SEE THAT JUPITER TWIN IN REFLECTED VISIBLE LIGHT. IT'S, IT'S SO SMALL AND SO.
00:36:17FAINT THAT FOR SOME OF THEM WE MIGHT ONLY GET A SINGLE IMAGE
00:36:19AND NOT A SPECTRUM.
00:36:22I HOPE WE MAY FOR ONE SYSTEM,
00:36:26MAYBE TWO, BE ABLE TO GET A VERY
00:36:27LOW RESOLUTION SPECTRUM AND
00:36:30WE'LL USE THAT TO LOOK FOR METHANE IN THEIR ATMOSPHERES AS
00:36:34KIND OF A PROOF OF CONCEPT. WE'RE NOT LOOKING. WE DON'T HAVE THE SENSITIVITY TO
00:36:38DETECT HABITABLE PLANETS OR EARTH-LIKE PLANETS, SO WE'RE
00:36:40STILL LOOKING AT THE
00:36:44JUPITER-LIKE PLANETS. AND HOW WE DO THAT IS WITH, YES, THESE, THESE DEFORMABLE MIRRORS
00:36:47THEY HAVE ABOUT 1400 PISTONS ON THE BACK OF EACH, AND WE HAVE
00:36:49TWO OF THEM.
00:36:57WE POINT AT A VERY BRIGHT KIND OF TUNE UP STAR AND WE OBSERVE
00:36:58THE PATTERN OF STARLIGHT GLARE IN OUR SCIENCE IMAGE AND WE HAVE
00:37:02A MODEL THAT TELLS US FROM THAT PARTICULAR PATTERN OF GLARE WHAT
00:37:05TYPE OF OPTICAL ERROR.
00:37:09IT IS, AND WE COMMAND THE DEFORMABLE MIRRORS TO
00:37:11COMPENSATE. OUR MODEL ISN'T PERFECT, SO WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO ITERATE
00:37:16OVER THIS SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES,
00:37:22ITERATING AND LEARNING AS WE GO, WE'LL DIG DEEPER AND DEEPER ON A
00:37:24GIVEN STAR.
00:37:28>> I JUMP IN WITH AN ANALOGY THAT I'M WEARING RIGHT NOW.
00:37:31THE GLASSES ON MY FACE.
00:37:34I WENT TO AN OBSTETRICIAN, RIGHT? THEY MEASURED MY EYES.
00:37:37THEY MEASURED MY VISION, AND THEN THEY CUSTOM, THEY GAVE ME A
00:37:39PRESCRIPTION WHICH I THEN MAILED IN AND THEY DESIGNED LENSES TO
00:37:43BASICALLY IMPART THE OPPOSITE AREA THAT MY EYES IMPART.
00:37:47WHAT THE CORONOGRAPH DOES IS IT'S BASICALLY DOING THAT MEASUREMENT AND THEN RESHAPING
00:37:50THE DEFORMABLE MIRRORS, THE LENSES, LIKE ON A FAST CADENCE
00:37:53TO CORRECT THE VISION THAT THE
00:37:55TELESCOPE IS IMPARTING, AND
00:37:58THAT'S THE HARDER THE LESS STABLE THE TELESCOPE IS. THE OTHER PART OF THIS EQUATION THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IS THE
00:38:02TELESCOPE ITSELF THAT WE'RE GETTING ON ROMAN, BECAUSE OF THE
00:38:05PRECISION WE NEED FOR SOME OF THESE COSMIC MYSTERIES IS ALSO
00:38:08VERY STABLE, WHICH IT'S STABLE
00:38:13ENOUGH FOR THE CORONOGRAPH TO DO THE HARD WORK ON THE BACK END OF ADJUSTING TO WHATEVER AREAS THE TELESCOPE IS IMPARTING, AND THEY
00:38:16OPERATE AS A SYSTEM.
00:38:21>> WE'LL GO TO THE SIDE OF THE
00:38:22ROOM FRONT ROW.
00:38:29>> THANK YOU, CHELSEA GOD WITH SPACE.COM. WE'RE LOOKING AT DARK MATTER,
00:38:32DARK ENERGY, THE SEARCH FOR AN EARTH TWIN OR JUPITER TWIN
00:38:34FIRST.
00:38:37THESE ARE MASSIVE EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS IN SCIENCE, BUT JUST GENERALLY FOR HUMANITY.
00:38:40AND I'M CURIOUS HOW YOU HOPE THE
00:38:42GENERAL PUBLIC WILL CONNECT WITH
00:38:45ROMAN AND THESE MASSIVE
00:38:48EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS, HOW THEY
00:38:50WILL RELATE TO IT.
00:38:58>> SURE, OK, YEAH, I THINK THIS COULD BE FOR ANYBODY, BUT UM.
00:39:01I MEAN, I THINK WE ALL WANT TO
00:39:06KNOW IF WE'RE ALONE.
00:39:08WE ALL WANT TO UNDERSTAND OUR
00:39:11PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE, SO I'M VERY EXCITED FOR THE EXOPLANET CAPABILITIES FROM THIS, FROM THIS MISSION THAT THE WIDE FIELD
00:39:15INSTRUMENT AND ITS MICRO LENSING SURVEY ARE GOING TO HELP US
00:39:18UNDERSTAND HOW COMMON
00:39:20EARTH-SIZED PLANETS ARE IN THAT
00:39:23GOLDILOCKS ZONE. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST TIME WE
00:39:27HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
00:39:30WE'RE GOING TO GET SO MUCH
00:39:35CLOSER TO UNDERSTANDING WHETHER
00:39:42WE'RE ALONE. SO FOR ME THAT'S A, THAT'S A BIG MOTIVATING QUESTION, AND I THINK
00:39:45IT MAY BE FOR SOME. FOLKS TOO, I'M SURE OTHERS HAVE
00:39:48OPINIONS. I WAS PAUSING BECAUSE I CAN'T
00:39:52REMEMBER A TIME THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN PASSIONATE TO LEARN HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS, SO I CAN'T REALLY, I STRUGGLE TO IMAGINE
00:39:57HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT TO EVEN. I, I FEEL THAT IT, THAT, WELL, I CAN'T COME UP WITH GOOD WORDS
00:40:00FOR THAT, BUT, UM, UH, BUT I THINK THAT, UM, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING. DRIVING ABOUT EXPLORING, I MEAN
00:40:03THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE FOR ITS OWN SAKE.
00:40:07I MEAN WHETHER IT'S, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A CONTINENT ON THE
00:40:09OTHER SIDE OF THAT OCEAN OR IS
00:40:12THERE WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THE
00:40:18UNIVERSE BEYOND THE HORIZON THAT
00:40:20WE'RE CURRENTLY ABLE TO SEE, OR IN SOME SENSE, YOU KNOW, SOME OF
00:40:24THE SAME KIND OF QUESTIONS. I THINK THAT WHAT WE'RE SOME OF
00:40:27WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO WITH ROMAN IS GOING TO BE INSPIRING
00:40:32AND IT'S GOING TO BE INSPIRING NOT JUST FOR, I HOPE, NOT JUST FOR NERDS, NOT JUST FOR
00:40:35SCIENTISTS, BUT ACTUALLY THE YOU
00:40:36KNOW, THE COUNTRY AT LARGE, AND
00:40:40I THINK AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR JOB AS SCIENTISTS WHERE WE HAVE
00:40:42LIKE THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK ON
00:40:46SOMETHING SO EXCITING IS THAT THE ONUS IS ON US TO CONVEY WHAT
00:40:50WE'RE DOING IN A WAY THAT SHARES THE EXCITEMENT OF WHAT WE'RE
00:40:53DOING. I MEAN IT'S SOMETHING THAT I REALLY PASSIONATELY THINK THAT
00:40:56WE DO BIG AND. AMBITIOUS THINGS AND EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE PROUD OF
00:41:00THAT AND EVERYBODY YOU KNOW
00:41:03SHOULD FEEL THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE
00:41:10THEY'RE PART OF THAT.
00:41:13I REALIZE IT'S NOT A VERY
00:41:15CONCRETE ANSWER, BUT LIKE I
00:41:19SAID, I DON'T REPRESENT THE
00:41:21PERSON WHO WAS EVER NOT EXCITED
00:41:24ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WORKS, SO. I, I THINK JUST THE ONE OTHER
00:41:27THING I'LL THROW OUT HERE IS, IS
00:41:31WE, WE ARE, WE HAVE A CITIZEN
00:41:32SCIENCE PROGRAM AT NASA AS WELL.
00:41:36SO FOR THOSE THAT LIKE REALLY LIKE IF THEY'RE NERDS LIKE US AND WANT TO LIKE BE A PART OF THAT JOURNEY, THERE'S WAYS THAT
00:41:40THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ENGAGE NOT JUST THE DATA, BUT EVEN LIKE HELP FIND DISCOVERIES IN THE DATA SETS, AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A CITIZEN SCIENCE ENGINE.
00:41:43IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME FOR THEM. WE HAVE A QUESTION NOW FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. COURTNEY ON X ASKS, HOW WAS ROMAN ABLE TO LAUNCH 9 MONTHS
00:41:47AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AND UNDER BUDGET. I HEARD A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION FROM JACKIE TOWNSEND, WHO'S OUR, OUR, OUR WONDERFUL PROJECT
00:41:51MANAGER, AND SHE WAS THE
00:41:51LONG-TERM DEPUTY PROJECT MANAGER
00:42:11UNDER UNDER JAMIE DUNN, UM, AND THE TWO OF THEM HAVE HAD A
00:42:13CONSISTENT MESSAGE, AND, AND, AND, UH, I WANT TO HEAR FROM
00:42:16JULIE IF SHE, IF SHE WANTS TO ADD TO THIS, BUT IT COMES DOWN TO A FEW THINGS. UM, ONE IS YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE
00:42:19TO CREATE A GREAT TEAM BECAUSE. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WHETHER IT'S BUILDING THE
00:42:23TELESCOPE OR OPERATING IT ON YOUR OWN. YOU NEED, FRANKLY, TEAMS OF TEAMS, AND SO THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS YOU PULL THAT TEAM
00:42:27TOGETHER. AND THEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT A TEAM. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE OPENNESS AND THE HONESTY AND THE
00:42:30ENGAGEMENT BOTH DOWN AND IN TO THAT TEAM ITSELF AND THEN UP AND
00:42:34OUT TO STAKEHOLDERS AND LEADERS THAT ARE SUPPORTING THE PROJECT,
00:42:37AND I THINK WE'VE HAD A HISTORY
00:42:38OF JUST AMAZING LEADERSHIP ON
00:42:41THIS PROJECT, INCLUDING ON THE SCIENCE TEAM WITH JULIE AND THE
00:42:45TEAM WE'VE GOT HERE TODAY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
00:42:47AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET
00:42:50THE THE THE FUNDING YOU NEED
00:42:51WHEN YOU NEED IT, AND THIS
00:42:59PROJECT WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE THAT.
00:43:03IT ALLOWED THE PROJECT MANAGERS TO DO EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEEDED TO ON A CLOCKWORK
00:43:07SCHEDULE.
00:43:14THE FOLKS LIKE ME AND MY FRANKLY MY PREDECESSORS DESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT FOR THIS, MADE SURE THAT THIS OBSERVATORY HAD THE FUNDING
00:43:17IT NEEDED ON THE PROFILE THAT REQUIRED TO BRING IT TO THE LAUNCH PAD ON TIME AND ON BUDGET, AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AND
00:43:20UNDER BUDGET.
00:43:22>> I'LL JUST ADD THAT, UM, THERE
00:43:26WAS A TEAM SPIRIT WHERE PEOPLE WANTED US, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE
00:43:28PART OF SOMETHING THAT IS SUCCESSFUL, YOU WANT TO KEEP
00:43:31THAT GOING.
00:43:34I WILL SAY THAT THE TEAM AT
00:43:36LARGE ARE QUITE HAPPY THAT A FEW
00:43:39DAYS AGO WE HAD OUR LAST DAILY 7 A.M.
00:43:42MEETING.
00:43:46AND I'LL STOP JUST RIGHT THERE.
00:43:50>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ONE FROM THE PHONE NOW. KATRINA MILLER WITH THE NEW YORK
00:43:53TIMES. >> HI, THANKS SO MUCH, UM, AND
00:43:57APOLOGIES IF THIS HAS BEEN ASKED ALREADY, BUT, UM, CAN YOU
00:44:00CLARIFY IF THE CORONAGRAPH WILL
00:44:03BE USED TO FIND NEW EXOPLANETS, OR IS THIS SORT OF JUST LIKE A
00:44:05PROOF OF CONCEPT, UM, FOR
00:44:09LOOKING AT ALREADY DISCOVERED
00:44:10EXOPLANETS, AND I GUESS AS A
00:44:20A COROLLARY TO THAT, CAN YOU DIG INTO THE DETAILS OF THE OTHER PLANET FINDING TECHNIQUES THAT WILL BE USED WITH ROMAN? THAT'S
00:44:24GREAT. >> I'M, I'M SORRY, YOU WERE A LITTLE BIT FAINT.
00:44:27WOULD YOU MIND REPEATING THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION? IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. WELL, I CAN AT LEAST SPEAK TO
00:44:31THE FIRST PART AND MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE CAUGHT THE REST,
00:44:33BUT THE QUESTION OF IS THE ROMAN
00:44:37CHRONOGRAPH TRYING TO DISCOVER NEW PLANETS OR CHARACTERIZE ONES
00:44:40WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT, IT'S THE
00:44:42LATTER BECAUSE THIS SET UP
00:44:45PROCESS, THE TUNING OF OUR DEFORMABLE MIRRORS, IS A VERY
00:44:49TIME CONSUMING EFFORT. SO WE WANT TO ONLY TARGET THOSE
00:44:52SYSTEMS WHERE WE EXPECT TO SEE SOMETHING.
00:44:54WE'LL USE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER METHODS THAT CAN
00:44:58INDIRECTLY SUGGEST THE PRESENCE
00:45:01OF A PLANET IN A SYSTEM, AND THEN WE'LL GO TO CHARACTERIZE
00:45:04THAT SPECIFIC ONE.
00:45:07YEAH, AND I DIDN'T CATCH THE REST.
00:45:10>> I THINK IT WAS AROUND THE DISCOVERY AND DETECTION TECHNIQUES FOR ROMAN FOR FINDING PLANETS LIKE MICROLENSING AND
00:45:14TRANSITING. >> OK.
00:45:17DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT? DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE THAT? YOU TAKE IT.
00:45:20>> OK, SURE. SO. SO ON THE WIDE FIELD INSTRUMENT
00:45:24WE'LL USE TWO DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO DISCOVER
00:45:27EXOPLANETS. THE FIRST ONE IS CALLED THE
00:45:30TRANSIT TECHNIQUE.
00:45:34THIS IS LIKE KEPLER USED, LIKE TESS USED WHEN YOU HAVE A PLANET
00:45:36ORBITING ITS STAR. IF THE ORBIT IS ALIGNED JUST RIGHT, IT WILL APPEAR TO PASS IN
00:45:40FRONT OF THE STAR. FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE TEMPORARILY BLOCKING A LITTLE
00:45:43BIT OF THE STAR'S LIGHT, THE STAR WILL APPEAR TEMPORARILY DIMMER.
00:45:46IF YOU SEE THAT HAPPEN MULTIPLE
00:45:47TIMES, YOU CAN INFER THAT IT'S A
00:45:51PLANET, AND YOU CAN GET THE
00:45:56RADIUS, THE SIZE OF THE PLANET FROM THAT OBSERVATION, ROMAN.
00:46:00IT IS EXPECTED TO DETECT MAYBE 100,000 NEW TRANSITING PLANETS
00:46:04THIS WAY COMPARED WITH THE, YOU KNOW, 6000 PLUS, THAT'S THE
00:46:08TOTAL NUMBER OF EXOPLANETS WE KNOW TODAY, WHICH I FIND PRETTY
00:46:11ASTONISHING. AND WITH THE SAME DATA SET
00:46:15THEY'RE GOING TO USE THE SO-CALLED MICRO LENSING
00:46:19TECHNIQUE.
00:46:21BASICALLY A STAR'S GRAVITY BENDS SPACE-TIME A LITTLE BIT AND CAN
00:46:25KIND OF ACT LIKE A LENS THAT CAN BRIGHTEN BACKGROUND OBJECTS.
00:46:28A LITTLE PLANET AROUND IT WOULD DO THE SAME THING.
00:46:32SO WITH THE SAME DATA SET WHERE YOU'RE MONITORING THE BRIGHTNESS OF STARS OVER TIME, IF YOU SEE A
00:46:35LITTLE DIP THAT CAN SUGGEST THERE'S A TRANSITING PLANET.
00:46:38IF YOU SEE A LITTLE BRIGHTENING, THAT CAN SUGGEST THERE'S A MICRO
00:46:41LENSING PLANET. IT'S THE MICRO LENSING TECHNIQUE
00:46:43THAT WILL BE SENSITIVE TO THE
00:46:46EARTH-SIZED PLANETS IN THE HABITABLE ZONE. THE TRANSITING TECHNIQUE IS
00:46:50GOING TO BE MOST SENSITIVE TO
00:46:51PLANETS CLOSER TO THEIR STARS.
00:46:55YOU WANT TO ADD ANYTHING ANYBODY RELATED TO SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING AT IPAC, WHICH
00:46:59IS THE MICROLENSING, WHICH IS
00:47:02THE ANALYSIS OF THE DATA FOR THE GALACTIC BULGE TIME DOMAIN
00:47:06SURVEY THAT I MENTIONED, WHICH IS PRECISELY USING THE TECHNIQUE
00:47:09THAT VANESSA MENTIONED BEFORE.
00:47:13THE WAY THAT THIS WORKS IS YOU USE THE BACKGROUND STARS TOWARDS
00:47:16THE CENTER OF OUR GALAXY WHICH PROVIDE THIS INCREDIBLY
00:47:18DETAILED. ESSENTIALLY WALLPAPER, THAT'S
00:47:22WHAT YOU'RE MEASURING AGAINST, AND THE FOREGROUND STARS WITH
00:47:25THEIR PLANETS MOVE ACROSS THAT
00:47:26AND USING THE GRAVITATIONAL
00:47:29MICRO LENSING ENHANCE THE LIGHT OF THE BACKGROUND STARS OF THE
00:47:33BULBS. SO YOU WANT A PLACE IN THE
00:47:36GALAXY WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF STARS THAT YOU CAN MEASURE
00:47:40BECAUSE IT'S INCREDIBLY RARE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE
00:47:42RIGHT ALIGNMENT. AND SO WHEN THE DATA COMES TO IPAC, IT GETS ALL OF THE TIME
00:47:46SERIES DATA OF ALL THE STARS,
00:47:48GETS MEASURED AND FIT WITH
00:47:50MODELS, AND THAT'S HOW WE FIND
00:47:52THE PARAMETERS OF ALL OF THE EXOPLANETS THROUGH MICRO
00:47:55LENSING. WE SHOULD FIND A COUPLE THOUSANDS OF THOSE, NOT AS MANY
00:47:59AS WE FIND WITH THE TRANSITING TECHNIQUE.
00:48:01BUT IT PROVIDES A VERY UNIQUE DATA SET TO FIND THE MORE
00:48:04DISTANT PLANETS THAN YOU CAN WITH A TRANSITING TECHNIQUE,
00:48:08WHICH IS, WHICH IS VERY GOOD AT FINDING PLANETS THAT ARE VERY
00:48:11CLOSE IN TO THEIR STARS.
00:48:16>> THAT DIFFERENCE IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE UNDERSTANDING
00:48:19OF HOW COMMON HABITABLE PLANETS ARE.
00:48:22ALL OF OUR, ALMOST ALL OF OUR PRIOR MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
00:48:25WITH OTHER OBSERVATORIES, WHETHER ON THE GROUND OR IN SPACE, HAVE A BIAS TOWARDS
00:48:28FINDING CLOSER IN PLANETS. THIS MICROLENSING TECHNIQUE IS
00:48:32GOING TO HAVE A BIAS TOWARDS THE FURTHER THE LARGER SEPARATION
00:48:35PLANETS AND THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE, THE HABITABLE ZONE WHERE IT'S
00:48:38NOT TOO HOT, NOT TOO COLD, IT'S
00:48:41NOT FULLY OUR SURVEY OF THAT ISN'T FULLY COMPLETE BECAUSE OF THOSE BIASES TOWARDS THE INNER
00:48:45EDGE OF THE HABITABLE ZONE. ROMAN'S GOING TO HELP US
00:48:49COMPLETE THE OUTER EDGE OF THE HABITABLE ZONE AND COMPLETE THAT
00:48:52CENSUS SO WE HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF HOW. COMMON NOT JUST PLANETS ARE, BUT
00:48:55POTENTIALLY HABITABLE ONES.
00:48:57>> THE TECHNIQUE IS ALSO REALLY GOOD AT FINDING THINGS LIKE
00:49:00ROGUE PLANETS THAT ARE JUST FLOATING OUT THERE OR BLACK HOLES THAT ARE JUST FLOATING THROUGH SPACE BECAUSE THEY BEND
00:49:04THE LIGHT AND MAGNIFY THE LIGHT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS A STAR
00:49:08AND A PLANET THAT MAGNIFY THE
00:49:11LIGHT OF THE BACKGROUND SOURCES TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE
00:49:14GALAXY. >> WE HAVE A QUESTION ONLINE
00:49:18FROM ISABELLA MORDER WITH STUDENTS FOR THE EXPLORATION AND
00:49:20DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE. THIS IS TO KRISTEN.
00:49:24WITH NO EXCLUSIVE ACCESS PERIOD AND MOST SCIENCE RUNNING THROUGH
00:49:27THE CLOUD VIA ROMAN NEXUS INSTEAD OF DOWNLOADS, WHAT DOES
00:49:31THAT CHANGE ABOUT WHO GETS TO MAKE THE FIRST DISCOVERY IN THE
00:49:33DATA WHEN NOBODY HAS A HEAD
00:49:36START? >> THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE GREAT
00:49:39THINGS ABOUT ROMAN IS THAT IT'S SORT OF EQUAL ACCESS TO
00:49:42EVERYONE. THERE IS NO PROPRIETARY PERIOD.
00:49:46THERE IS NO, THERE ARE NO GATES.
00:49:49ANYBODY AND EVERYONE CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THE DATA, INCLUDING STUDENTS.
00:49:53IN FACT, WE'VE SET UP DATA ACCESS NOT JUST FOR RESEARCHERS,
00:49:57BUT, YOU KNOW, A HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM CAN SIGN UP FOR A TEAM
00:50:01ACCOUNT ON THE CLOUD-BASED
00:50:04DIGITAL WORKSPACE AND GET ACCESS TO ROAMING DATA, AND WE HAVE
00:50:07TUTORIALS AND WORKFLOWS FOR
00:50:10STUDENTS TO LOG ON. AND BE ABLE TO WORK ON THIS AS A
00:50:14GROUP ANYWHERE, YOU KNOW, ANYWHERE THEY WANT, MANY ANY
00:50:17SCHOOL THEY WANT, SO IT'S NOT.
00:50:19IT'S, IT'S REALLY ABOUT MAKING
00:50:24SURE THAT THE DATA ARE NOT ONLY
00:50:26ACCESSIBLE LIKE FROM A TECHNICAL
00:50:28STANDPOINT OF LOGGING AND
00:50:30GETTING ACCESS TO IT, BUT THAT ANYONE THAT WANTS TO CAN DIG
00:50:34INTO THE DATA AND DO THE
00:50:36ANALYSIS RIGHT AWAY. THERE IS NO THERE IS NO
00:50:39HIERARCHY.
00:50:44>> LET'S GO BACK TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROOM HERE.
00:50:47>> THANK YOU, JACKIE GODDARD FOR THE TIMES OF LONDON.
00:50:51NANCY GRACE ROMAN HERSELF WAS A GIANT OF ASTRONOMY, AND HER NAME
00:50:54IS ON THIS TELESCOPE, BUT I WONDERED AS WELL TO WHAT EXTENT
00:50:57THE LEGACY OF HER WORK IS WRITTEN IN THE WORK THAT THIS
00:51:00WILL BE DOING. AND ALSO TO JULIE, I WONDERED IF
00:51:03YOU COULD JUST SORT OF ENCAPSULATE THE EXCITEMENT OF THIS ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, WHAT
00:51:07IT MEANS FOR YOU.
00:51:08THANK YOU.
00:51:13>> I'LL START WITH THE SECOND ONE.
00:51:16SO LIKE I MEAN HOW HOW EXCITED
00:51:20AM I FEELING? I ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, I OFTEN HAVE WORDS, BUT I ACTUALLY DON'T
00:51:23HAVE WORDS FOR THAT RIGHT NOW.
00:51:27IT FEELS ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE TO
00:51:32LIKE SURREAL TO BE AT THE AT THE FINISH LINE. IT'S WEIRD TO, YOU KNOW, AS
00:51:36WE'VE COMPLETED BUILDING THINGS AND SORT OF HANDED THE
00:51:40OBSERVATORY TO SPACEX FOR A LAUNCH, IT'S LIKE.
00:51:43LIKE THERE'S THIS LIKE LITTLE
00:51:45PAUSE BEFORE THE STORM, AND I KNOW THAT IN A FEW WEEKS' TIME
00:51:48WE'RE GOING TO BE COMPLETELY
00:51:50FRANTIC GETTING THINGS UP AND
00:51:54STARTED, BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S, IT'S, IT'S ALMOST A SENSE OF
00:51:57LIKE DISBELIEF.
00:52:00I'M, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO EXTRAORDINARY. I DON'T EVEN HAVE GOOD WORDS,
00:52:03WORDS FOR IT, BUT INSIDE I'M
00:52:06EXTREMELY HAPPY.
00:52:11ON NANCY GRACE ROMAN HERSELF, I,
00:52:15I, I TOLD A STORY ABOUT THE
00:52:19CORONOGRAPH. SO IN THE LATE 19 1959, SHE WROTE A TEENY TINY SMALLER THAN
00:52:22YOU WOULD BE ALLOWED NOW ARTICLE
00:52:25IN UM ASTROPHYSICS JOURNAL WHERE
00:52:28SHE HYPOTHESIZED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF DIRECTLY
00:52:32MEASURING PLANETS IN SPACE AND
00:52:35SO SHE WROTE DOWN THE CALCULATION AND SHE BASICALLY SAID WELL YOU KNOW THIS WOULD BE
00:52:38REALLY COOL AND YOU COULD IMAGINE AN OBSERVATORY THAT WOULD DO THAT BUT IT'S CLEARLY
00:52:42RIDICULOUS. WE'RE NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO BUILD OBSERVATORIES THAT ARE SUFFICIENTLY STABLE AND
00:52:46SUFFICIENTLY SENSITIVE SO I THINK IF SHE WAS HERE NOW SHE
00:52:49WOULD REALLY ENJOY HAVING BEEN
00:52:50PROVED WRONG.
00:52:59>> GO TO THE ROOM, RIGHT HERE, YEAH, NEXT TO YOU, RIGHT THERE, YEAH.
00:53:03>> HI, EXCUSE ME, WILL ROBINSON SMITH WITH SPACEFLIGHT.
00:53:07THANK YOU ALL FOR THE TIME. QUESTION TO JULIE AND
00:53:09POTENTIALLY KRISTEN AS WELL. JULIE, YOU MENTIONED IN A
00:53:12PREVIOUS BRIEFING THAT WHEN
00:53:16ASKED, YOU KNOW, DO YOU HOPE THIS WILL CHANGE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF PHYSICS, YOU
00:53:20SAID, I'M PARAPHRASING HERE, I DON'T HOPE I KNOW IT WILL. DO YOU FEEL LIKE THAT WILL
00:53:24HAPPEN ON THE 5 YEAR TIME SCALE
00:53:27THAT ROMAN IS DESIGNED FOR ITS
00:53:30PRIMARY MISSION, OR? GIVEN THAT
00:53:43IT HAS ENOUGH FUEL FOR 10 YEARS, THAT ONCE YOU HIT THAT 5 YEAR POINT, THEN YOU GET TO REALLY
00:53:45START TO FINESSE AND DO SOME
00:53:50WEIRD THINGS ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THE PARTICULARS OF THE WEIRDNESS OF THE SCIENCE AND THE PHYSICS THAT YOU'LL HAVE WITH THE 1ST 5
00:53:53YEARS OF DATA. >> SO I THINK THE RESULTS FROM ROMAN ARE GOING TO COME IN IN
00:53:57FITS AND BOUNDS, AND I'LL ANSWER AND THEN I'LL LET CHRISTIE GET A GET A WORD IN EDGEWAYS.
00:54:00SO WHEN YOU FIRST TURN ON A NEW OBSERVATORY AND YOU'RE YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO OPEN ROMAN'S EYES
00:54:04AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE UNIVERSE IN A NEW WAY AND THERE
00:54:07ARE GOING TO BE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DISCOVER SIMPLY
00:54:10BECAUSE OF THAT.
00:54:13SO I THINK WE CAN REASONABLY EXPECT, I MEAN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE, BUT WE
00:54:17CAN REASONABLY EXPECT THAT WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF FINDING
00:54:21INTERESTING THINGS IN THE FIRST, YOU KNOW, FEW MONTHS, FIRST YEAR
00:54:25OF THE MISSION. THE COSMOLOGY RESULTS ARE
00:54:28HARDER. THEY REQUIRE EXQUISITE PRECISION.
00:54:32THEY REQUIRE THE LARGE AMBITIOUS
00:54:35SURVEYS THAT WE'RE DOING.
00:54:36SO THE DETAILED RESULTS ON HOW
00:54:39WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE
00:54:42ITSELF, THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL WE'RE A FEW YEARS
00:54:46LATER INTO THE MISSION. SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SORT OF
00:54:49WAVES OF AN INITIAL WAVE AND
00:54:53THEN LATER WAVES OF RESULTS
00:54:57COMING OUT AND I THINK KRISTEN KRISTEN COULD ADD TO THIS
00:55:01BECAUSE WE PLAN TO HAVE ENHANCED DATA RELEASES WHERE WE PROCESS
00:55:02DATA TO ADD EXTRA VALUE, VALUE
00:55:09ADDED PRODUCTS TO THE DATA THAT I THINK WILL BE A FURTHER SORT
00:55:12OF A GENERAL JOLT TO THE SCIENCE.
00:55:16SO MAYBE YOU, YES, I THINK JUST TO ADD A LITTLE BIT TO THE
00:55:18GENERAL CONTEXT THAT JULIE GAVE.
00:55:24THE SCIENCE WILL ROLL OUT IN DIFFERENT CADENCES DEPENDING
00:55:27UPON HOW THE OBSERVATIONS ARE
00:55:29SCHEDULED AND WHAT'S AVAILABLE
00:55:31WHEN. SO YOU KNOW, EARLY ON WE'RE
00:55:34GOING TO BE GETTING A SEASON OF
00:55:35OBSERVING WHERE WE CAN SEE THE
00:55:39GALACTIC BULGE OF OUR OWN GALAXY AND SO WE'LL BE TARGETING THAT
00:55:41QUITE INTENSELY FOR A COUPLE OF
00:55:44MONTHS STARTING IN FEBRUARY.
00:55:47AND SO RIGHT FROM THE GET-GO, YOU KNOW, THAT FIRST SEASON OF DATA, I THINK, WILL, WILL GIVE
00:55:51US EARLY RESULTS ON EXOPLANETS,
00:55:54ON, ON FINDING EXOPLANETS, ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF EXOPLANETS.
00:55:57SOME OF THE COSMOLOGY RESULTS
00:56:00REQUIRE, YOU KNOW, A
00:56:02SIGNIFICANT, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE
00:56:05AMOUNT OF DATA THAT WILL BE
00:56:08ACCUMULATED OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS OF THE 1ST 5 YEAR MISSION.
00:56:10AND THERE'S SOME REALLY DEEP WORK THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON
00:56:13THOSE DATA TO CONTROL THE UNCERTAINTIES AND THE
00:56:16SYSTEMATICS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET THE VERY PRECISE HARD. IT'S A VERY HARD MEASUREMENT TO
00:56:20MAKE, SO THAT MIGHT BE IN A LITTLE BIT LONGER TIME SCALE
00:56:23WITHIN THE 5 YEARS, BUT THERE'S
00:56:25ALSO ALL SORTS OF ASTROPHYSICS THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT ALONG
00:56:29THE WAY THAT COULD CHANGE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIVERSE
00:56:32AND THAT CAN HAPPEN FROM ANY
00:56:35PART OF THE SURVEYS THAT WERE TAKEN.
00:56:38MY OWN PERSONAL SCIENCE, PART OF MY OWN PERSONAL SCIENCE IS TO STUDY SOME OF THE SMALLEST
00:56:41GALAXIES IN THE UNIVERSE, ONES THAT A MILLION OR A BILLION
00:56:44TIMES SMALLER THAN OUR OWN MILKY
00:56:47WAY GALAXY.
00:56:49THESE ARE THE SEEDS OR THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF HOW WE
00:56:53ACTUALLY BUILD UP MORE MASSIVE SYSTEMS LIKE OUR OWN MILKY WAY. BUT MANY OF THEM ARE JUST, YOU
00:56:57KNOW, REMAIN REALLY, REALLY TINY. THEY'RE SMALL.
00:57:00THEY DON'T HAVE A LOT OF STARS. THEY'RE VERY HARD TO FIND. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I'M A GALAXY
00:57:03HUNTER, IF YOU WILL, LOOKING FOR
00:57:08THESE SMALL SYSTEMS, AND WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM WITH OTHER
00:57:11SURVEYS AND FINDING THEM.
00:57:13BUT NOTHING WILL BE LIKE THE ROMAN DATA WILL BE FOR THIS
00:57:16WORK, AND THESE GALAXIES ARE INTERESTING, NOT JUST BECAUSE
00:57:19THEY TELL YOU ABOUT HOW MILKY WAY SYSTEMS FORM. THEY ALSO ARE RELICS OF STRUCTURE FORMATION IN THE EARLY
00:57:23UNIVERSE, GIVING US HINTS OF THE CONDITIONS IN THE EARLY
00:57:26UNIVERSE, HOW GALAXIES FORMED. ALL AND HOW DARK MATTER AND
00:57:29GALAXIES INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER AND SOME OF THOSE RESULTS
00:57:32FROM YOU JUST AN EXAMPLE FROM MY
00:57:34OWN SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND CAN BE WILL BE AVAILABLE LIKELY IN THE
00:57:37FIRST YEAR AND THAT MAY GIVE US
00:57:40HINTS OF DIFFERENCES IN HOW THE EARLY UNIVERSE IS WORKING THAN
00:57:43WE CURRENTLY KNOW.
00:57:46AND SO I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE RESULTS ROLL OUT IN A WIDE
00:57:49RANGE OF ASTROPHYSICS OVER TIME OVER THE 1ST 5 YEARS, BUT
00:57:53THERE'S ALSO NOT JUST WHEN THE OBSERVATIONS ARE SCHEDULED, BUT
00:57:57AS JULIE ALLUDED TO, THE DATA PRODUCTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR
00:57:59SCIENTISTS TO USE. THE DATA COMES DOWN THIS
00:58:02INCREDIBLE DELUGE OF DATA, AND AS I MENTIONED, WE PROCESS THAT
00:58:06EVERY SINGLE DAY AND MAKE PRODUCTS AVAILABLE EVERY SINGLE
00:58:09DAY. BUT THAT IS WE'RE USING WHATEVER
00:58:12CALIBRATION AND ALGORITHMS WE HAVE AT THAT MOMENT TO PRODUCE
00:58:15THE BEST QUALITY DATA WE CAN.
00:58:19BUT OVER TIME THOSE CALIBRATIONS GET BETTER, RIGHT? YOU DON'T,
00:58:24WE'RE CALIBRATING INITIAL
00:58:26CALIBRATIONS OF ROMAN DURING THE COMMISSIONING PERIOD OF THE 1ST
00:58:3090 DAYS AFTER LAUNCH AND SO WE'LL HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
00:58:33BASELINE OF, YOU KNOW, HOW BRIGHT IS THAT STAR ACTUALLY AND
00:58:36HOW ALIGNED DO WE NEED TO MAKE THE TELESCOPE, YOU KNOW, THE
00:58:39DETECTORS TO MATCH EACH OTHER
00:58:41ASTROMETRICALLY.
00:58:47BUT THAT IMPROVES THE MORE TIME YOU HAVE ON SKY. AND SO ONE WOULD IMAGINE AS YOU
00:58:50GET THROUGH THE MISSION YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO GO BACK AND
00:58:54REPROCESS ALL OF THE DATA WHICH, GIVEN THE DATA VOLUME OF ROMAN IS A LITTLE BIT OF A DAUNTING
00:58:58TASK, WHICH IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE'VE MOVED TO BE ON THE CLOUD TOO IS THAT IT ALLOWS YOU TO DO THIS VERY SPIKY, YOU KNOW,
00:59:02WORK ON THE DATA.
00:59:05AND SO EVERY, YOU KNOW, SO EVERY SO OFTEN IN A CERTAIN CADENCE,
00:59:08WHETHER IT'S 6 MONTHS OR A YEAR,
00:59:10WE'LL REPROCESS THE DATA. FROM THE DIFFERENT SURVEYS AND
00:59:13CREATE RICHER DATA PRODUCTS,
00:59:16MORE UNIFORMLY PROCESSED AND CALIBRATED DATA PRODUCTS, AND
00:59:19IT'S THOSE THAT I THINK YOU'LL SEE THE DATA COMING THROUGH, THE
00:59:22DISCOVERIES COMING THROUGH. WHEN YOU GET A DATA RELEASE IN THIS TYPE OF ADDITIONAL WORK,
00:59:26YOU'LL SEE A SPIKE IN RESULTS AND DISCOVERIES AND OUTPUT BECAUSE IT'S THESE TYPE OF DATA
00:59:30PRODUCTS THAT REALLY DO HELP THE
00:59:33COMMUNITY ACCELERATE THEIR WORK.
00:59:35YOU DON'T WANT SCIENTISTS TO
00:59:39HAVE TO DO THAT INDIVIDUALLY OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON THEIR OWN.
00:59:42IT'S WAY TOO COMPLICATED. AND SO WHEN WE RELEASE SOMETHING LIKE THESE DATA RELEASES, I WOULD ANTICIPATE THERE BEING BIG
00:59:46SPIKES IN DISCOVERY RESULTS.
00:59:51>> I THINK WE'RE FOCUSED ON
00:59:53THESE BIG QUESTIONS THAT REQUIRE EXQUISITE CALIBRATION AND LARGE
00:59:56FIELDS OF VIEW AND LARGE NUMBERS.
01:00:01AND BECAUSE WE'RE DOING THAT AND BECAUSE WE'RE DOING ALL THIS
01:00:03DATA REPROCESSING THAT CHRISSIE WAS TALKING ABOUT, THAT MEANS
01:00:07ALONG THE WAY ALL THIS OTHER SCIENCE THAT WE DIDN'T TALK
01:00:10ABOUT SMALL GALAXIES AND OTHER THINGS CAN GET DONE.
01:00:13THEY DON'T NEED THIS EXQUISITE
01:00:16CALIBRATION. THEY MAY NOT NEED ALL OF THIS
01:00:19DATA REPROCESSING THAT THAT WILL APPEAR ALONG THE WAY AND TOWARDS THE END OF THE FIVE YEAR
01:00:23MISSION. SO THAT'S WHY ALL OF THE SCIENCE WILL HAPPEN.
01:00:27I'M PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN HOW GALAXIES EVOLVED. EVERY SINGLE GALAXY, EVERY
01:00:30SINGLE BIG GALAXY IN THE LOCAL UNIVERSE HAS AN ENORMOUS BLACK HOLE AT ITS CENTER.
01:00:34AND THE MASS OF THE BLACK HOLE
01:00:36AND THE MASS OF THE STARS AND
01:00:39THE GALAXIES HAVE A TIGHT CORRELATION, AND WE HAVE NO IDEA
01:00:43HOW THAT COMES ABOUT AS GALAXIES
01:00:45GROW, AND I THINK SCIENCE LIKE THAT WILL COME OUT OF ROMAN
01:00:48BECAUSE WE'RE FOCUSING SO
01:00:49INTENTLY ON ANSWERING THESE
01:00:53VERY, VERY BIG QUESTIONS AND PROCESSING THE DATA SO
01:00:56EXQUISITELY THAT ALL THIS OTHER SCIENCE WILL COME ALONG ALL
01:00:59ALONG THE WAY BETWEEN NOW AND
01:01:00THE END OF THE PRIME MISSION.
01:01:04THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY ALL THE TIME THAT WE HAVE FOR TODAY. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND TO OUR PANEL OF
01:01:08ROMAN SCIENCE EXPERTS.

01:04:29>> MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE ABDUL EL-SAYED
01:04:31SPOKE AT THE NOMINATING CONVENTION.
01:04:35HERE'S A LOOK AT HIS REMARKS.
01:04:56, PREEMPTIVELY APOLOGIZE FOR SOMETHING IT DID NOT EVEN DO. AND MIKE ROGERS WANTS TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY.
01:05:01HE IS DODGING COMMISSIONS
01:05:05BECAUSE HE'S A COWARD. HE IS CORRUPT AND DOESN'T WANT
01:05:09TO HAVE TO ANSWER FOR HIS CORRUPTION.
01:05:12SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING FOLKS TOGETHER.
01:05:16TO WIN THE RACE. WE WANT TO STAND UP TO DONALD
01:05:20TRUMP AND ALL HE'S DONE. IT WILL BE THE PEOPLE LEADING
01:05:24THE FIGHT IN THIS ROOM. >> WE WILL GO TO LILY.
01:05:28>> WE HAVE UNITY, TODAY WE ARE
01:05:34TALKING ABOUT BRINGING THE PARTY TOGETHER.
01:05:38BEEN GETTING AROUND TO THE CAUCUS ROOMS TODAY, WHAT HAVE
01:05:41YOU BEEN HEARING?
01:05:42ARE THE PEOPLE FEEL UNIFIED?
01:05:46>> I THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN
01:05:50THE FUTURE. 500,000 MORE PEOPLE VOTED IN THE
01:05:53DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAN IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.
01:05:57THIS IS A NEXT ESSENTIALLY BAD ECONOMY.
01:06:00FOR ALL THAT, JD VANCE, YOU WANT
01:06:06TO ROOT FOR THE OTHER FOOTBALL TEAM?
01:06:09FOR ALL THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE THE RACE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THE
01:06:15ECONOMY, THIS RACE IS FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT THE ECONOMY.
01:06:19DONALD TRUMP IS FIGHTING A TRADE WAR WITH CANADA TO GO FAVOR WITH
01:06:24CORPORATIONS AND MAKE HIS EGO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THE FACT HE FAILED AS PRESIDENT.
01:06:30PEOPLE PAY FOR THAT. WE PAY 32 HUNDRED DOLLARS AS
01:06:35MICHIGANDERS FOR HIS VANITY TARIFFS. THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT
01:06:39THAT.
01:06:41THEY WANT TO MAKE THE RACE ABOUT EVERY WHICH CULTURE WAR ISSUE.
01:06:48PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES,
01:06:50GAS, CAR NOTE, CAR INSURANCE,
01:06:54CAN'T AFFORD TO SEND YOUR KID TO PLAY BASEBALL. YOU CAN'T AFFORD LUNCH IN
01:06:59TRUMP'S ECONOMY. IF YOU WANT TO TURN THAT AROUND, MAYBE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE
01:07:03FOR SOMEONE -- WHO DESPERATELY
01:07:07WANTS YOU TO AFFORD YOUR LIFE AND HEALTH CARE, MAYBE THAT IS
01:07:11THE SOLUTION. THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THOSE THINGS.
01:07:16>> FOX NEWS. I WAS ON YOUR AGENDA MONDAY.
01:07:20SAY HELLO TO JESSE, FOR ME.
01:07:24>> SHE POINTED BACK TO THE
01:07:26SHOUTING OF THE APRIL CONVENTION.
01:07:29RECENTLY THIS PAST WEEK, SHE TALKED ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS
01:07:31REGARDING THE MICHIGAN TARIFFS AT THE SYNAGOGUE.
01:07:36SHE SAID YOUR COMMENTS MAY BE JUSTIFIED DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
01:07:42>> THE OFFICIALS ARE NOT HERE
01:07:45TODAY, FEWER PEOPLE THAN IN APRIL. AT THE END OF THE DAY, OUR
01:07:49RESPONSIBILITY IS TO COME TOGETHER AS A PARTY.
01:07:52I GOT A REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION AT THE JEWISH CAUCUS.
01:07:56MY COMMENTS MAY HAVE BEEN MISCONSTRUED TO JUSTIFY
01:07:58SOMETHING I DID NOT WANT TO JUSTIFY. FOR ANYBODY WHO FEELS MY
01:08:02COMMENTS MIGHT HAVE BEEN HURTFUL, THAT WAS NOT MY INTENTION.
01:08:06WE CONDEMNED THAT TERRORIST ATTACK. I WAS TRYING TO OFFER CONTEXT FOR WHY IT HAPPENED.
01:08:12BUT I ALSO WANT FOLKS TO
01:08:14REMEMBER WHAT IS AT STAKE. THIS ELECTION IS NOT ABOUT THE
01:08:18PAST, IT IS ABOUT THE FUTURE.
01:08:20IF WE WANT TO RUBBERSTAMP DONALD TRUMP'S DISASTROUS POLICIES, IF
01:08:24WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT PROTECTING DEMOCRACIES, STANDING UP FOR
01:08:28UNIONS IN PROVIDING HEALTH CARE, WE NEED TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT WHAT
01:08:31IT TAKES TO UNIFY AND WIN IN NOVEMBER.
01:08:34I WILL SAY TO ANY AND ALL FOLKS
01:08:37WHO BELIEVE DONALD TRUMP IS AN EXISTENTIAL RESTORE DEMOCRACY,
01:08:40THE TIME IS TO FIGHT FOR THAT DEMOCRACY. I LOOK FORWARD TO FIGHT
01:08:44ALONGSIDE ANYONE WILLING TO TAKE THAT FIGHT BACK.
01:08:47WE WILL NEED EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT. BUT WE WILL NEED INDEPENDENT AND REPUBLICANS.
01:08:53WHATEVER CHALLENGES WE FACE RIGHT NOW, WHATEVER DIFFERENCES
01:08:57MIGHT DIVIDE US, WE ALL HAVE TO PUMP GAS.
01:09:00UNLESS YOU HAVE AN EV, IN WHICH CASE, WE ARE IN A SITUATION THEY
01:09:04ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO HAVE A CHOICE.
01:09:08WE HAVE TO BE THE COUNTRY THAT CONTINUES TO LEAD AN INTERNAL
01:09:11COMBUSTION ENGINES. THE IDEA YOU HAVE CHOICE.
01:09:14WHATEVER YOU ARE DRIVING, IT IS COSTING MORE.
01:09:18RAISING YOUR UTILITY RATES. YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT BEING ABLE
01:09:21TO AFFORD STEAK AT THE GROCERY STORE, ANY MEET AT THE GROCERY STORE.
01:09:25YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE FACTS THESE TARIFFS CONTINUE TO BLOCK YOUR BUDGET.
01:09:29I DON'T CARE HOW YOU PRAY, WHO
01:09:32YOU LOVE, HOW YOU IDENTIFY,
01:09:35WHERE YOU ARE IN THE STATE, THOSE THINGS AFFECT YOU.
01:09:38TIME TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS TO GET MONEY AND
01:09:42MEDICARE FOR ALL. IF WE WANT TO SEND UP TO DONALD TRUMP AND THE DISASTROUS ECONOMY
01:09:46HE'S CREATED, IT STARTS HERE.
01:09:50>> TALKING WITH JEWISH DEMOCRATS HERE WHO APPRECIATE YOUR
01:09:53COMMENTS EARLIER.
01:09:56SOME STILL HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
01:09:59YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH --
01:10:03>> I'M GOING TO STOP YOU RIGHT THERE. WHAT STATE IS THIS?
01:10:08MICHIGAN. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THIS RACE
01:10:11ABOUT A STREAMER IN CALIFORNIA,
01:10:13I THINK YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. THIS IS ABOUT AFFORDABILITY,
01:10:17SEEING A DOCTOR IN MICHIGAN, DONALD TRUMP'S DISASTROUS POLICIES IN MICHIGAN.
01:10:21THAT IS WHAT I'M FOCUSED ON RIGHT NOW.
01:10:24NOT A CONVERSATION ABOUT A SOCIAL MEDIA PERSON IN CALIFORNIA.
01:10:27FOLKS WHO WANT TO MAKE THIS ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA PERSON IN
01:10:31CALIFORNIA, LET'S NOT FORGET WHAT MATTERS IN OUR POLITICS.
01:10:33I DON'T WANT MY COMMENTS TO HURT ANYBODY'S FEELINGS. IT IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE
01:10:38UNDERSTAND I TAKE SERIOUS THE PAIN OF ALL COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE.
01:10:43BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT A STREAMER IN CALIFORNIA.
01:10:48>> WE ALREADY WENT TO FOX NEWS.
01:10:52>> YOU CAN ASK JESSE ABOUT THAT.
01:10:55>> THERE ARE JEWISH OPPONENTS
01:10:58WHO DO REMEMBER THAT
01:11:01CONVERSATION, ASKING TO ASK YOU
01:11:05-- >> I'M HAPPY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION.
01:11:09IF THEY WANT TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESS, I WAS HERE.
01:11:15THIS IS NOT ABOUT A STREAMER IN
01:11:18CALIFORNIA, THIS IS ABOUT AFFORDABILITY IN MICHIGAN. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER SAID THERE
01:11:21NEXT ESSENTIALLY WORRIED -- LIVE
01:11:26IN RELIGIOUS PLURALISM AND THEIR
01:11:27RIGHT TO PRAY, ALL IS ON THE LINE, IT IS TIME TO UNITE.
01:11:34>> WE ARE GOING TO TAKE ONE AT A TIME.
01:11:38>> MIKE ROGERS, HIS CAMPAIGN HAS NOT COMMENT ON TARIFFS.
01:11:45>> MIKE DODGERS NOT TALKING ABOUT TARIFFS?
01:11:49MY GOD.
01:11:52>> ACCORDING TO WHAT THAT SAYS
01:11:53IN YOUR EYES ABOUT HIM.
01:11:56>> HE IS A CORRUPT COWARD.
01:11:59THE MAN HAS TAKEN $5 MILLION TO
01:12:01RUN HIS CAMPAIGN -- I DON'T EVEN
01:12:05KNOW HOW MUCH HE'S TAKING RIGHT NOW.
01:12:07ALL OF HIS HIS CAMPAIGN WAS
01:12:09FUNDED BY THE WORSE FOLKS IN AMERICAN POLITICS.
01:12:13DONALD TRUMP ABOUT TO THROW $40
01:12:15BILLION -- HE'S WELCOME TO DO THAT.
01:12:19THE MORE HE TALKS ABOUT HIMSELF, THE BETTER OFF WE ALL ARE.
01:12:24TO THE BIGGER PICTURE, I WENT ON
01:12:29JESSE. ME AND JESSE WATERS HAD A
01:12:33CONVERSATION. HE WON'T EVEN GO ON JESSE WATERS BECAUSE HE'S AFRAID TO TAKE
01:12:37QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT GET HIM TO
01:12:38TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES AT PLAY.
01:12:41THE MAN DODGES ANY AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A
01:12:45CONVERSATION ABOUT THINGS MICHIGANDERS CARE ABOUT.
01:12:48NOT ONLY IS HE CORRUPT, BUT HE'S A COWARD.
01:12:51MIKE ROGERS, YOU ARE A COWARD, YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT GOVERNING FOR PEOPLE.
01:12:57THIS CAMPAIGN IS NOT ABOUT A GUY
01:12:58IN CALIFORNIA, IT IS ABOUT YOU
01:13:02AND ME AND DONALD TRUMP. EVERY SINGLE TIME HE AND YOU SAY
01:13:05MY NAME, YOU ARE MINDING PEOPLE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT
01:13:08AFFORDABILITY PRICES, HEALTH CARE, NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE
01:13:12WAR, THE TRADE WAR, NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT ANYTHING.
01:13:15WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DEBATE ON FOX ON THE 15TH.
01:13:19I HOPE I GET TO SEE YOU THERE. >> A FEW MORE MINUTES.
01:13:30[INDISCERNIBLE]
01:13:34>> YOU HAVE NOTICED -- THE FACT
01:13:35I DID TAKE QUESTIONS.
01:13:39SECOND, I'M GOING TO BE HAVING THE CONVERSATION AND OPPORTUNITY
01:13:43TO SIT OUT TOMORROW.
01:13:46I HAVE CONVERSATION THE WAY MOST PEOPLE HAVE CONVERSATIONS --
01:13:50CONVERSATIONS, SIT DOWN --
01:13:54YOU OPEN THE DOOR TO INVITE ME, I'M HAPPY TO COME IN.
01:13:58THERE'S A LOT MORE THAN WE AGREE ON THAT WE DISAGREE ON.
01:14:02IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO
01:14:03REALIZE AT THE END OF DAY, THE
01:14:07THINGS THAT WE FACE TOGETHER,
01:14:10YOU HAVE WATCHED THE CAMPAIGN MY FATHER HAS WAGED.
01:14:12THIS CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT TRYING TO
01:14:16IDENTIFY KINDS OF PEOPLE -- HE DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE A
01:14:20CONVERSATION LIKE THAT, HE WOULD
01:14:23RATHER HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IDENTITY. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US WHO KNOW
01:14:27THE EXPERIENCE, BEING TOLD WE ARE LESS AMERICAN THAN OTHER
01:14:31PEOPLE, AND TAKE THAT ON. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORK
01:14:34ALONGSIDE MY JEWISH SISTERS AND BROTHERS TO FIGHT FOR AMERICA OR
01:14:39ALL OF US --
01:14:42LET'S NOT FORGET ALL THAT UNITES
01:14:47US IS BIGGER THAN ANYTHING THAT DIVIDES US.
01:14:51>> TO YOUR POINT ABOUT A
01:14:51CONVERSATION ABOUT IDENTITY,
01:14:56RESPOND TO ANY QUICK CLAIMS MIKE ROGERS CAMPAIGN OR OTHER REPUBLICANS HAVE MADE ABOUT YOUR
01:15:00IDENTITY.
01:15:03>> SOME PEOPLE WANT AMERICA TO BE SMALL.
01:15:06OTHERS WANTED TO BE BIGGER FOR EVERYBODY.
01:15:11DONALD TRUMP AND MIKE ROGERS WANTED TO BE SMALL.
01:15:15JD VANCE WANTS IT TO BE SMALL.
01:15:17WE ALL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
01:15:19COME TOGETHER, TO DEMAND AMERICA
01:15:25-- AND I'M GOING TO FIGHT FOR THAT AMERICA.
01:15:29BUT FOR A SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE CONTINUING TO VOICE THEIR
01:15:32SMALLNESS ON THE REST OF US, THE AMERICA I KNOW IS A PLACE WHERE
01:15:35PEOPLE COME TO, BUILD SOMETHING THAT IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF
01:15:39ITS PARTS, WE DON'T ASK HOW SOMEONE PRAYS, WE ASKED WITH A PRAY FOR.
01:15:44WE DON'T CARE ABOUT DIFFERENT
01:15:47NAMES,, THAT IS THE AMERICA THAT HAS DRIVEN ME ACROSS THE 530
01:15:51SOMETHING PUBLIC EVENTS WE HAVE DONE. 110 DIFFERENT CITIES.
01:15:55THAT IS THE AMERICA I KNOW, THAT
01:15:59I LOVE, THAT I'M WORKING FOR. THEY WILL KEEP TRYING TO DIVIDE
01:16:04US BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS ARE ON THE PROBLEMS THAT UNITE US.
01:16:08>> LAST QUESTION AND THEN WE WILL WRAP UP.
01:16:12>> A LOT OF JEWISH WORSHIP -- RESIDENCE IN MICHIGAN -- TODAY, AND TOMORROW.
01:16:19>> SOMEBODY WAS THERE, THEY HAD A VIDEO.
01:16:22>> I'M ASKING YOU TO TELL PEOPLE HERE MESSAGE TO JEWISH RESIDENTS
01:16:27IN MICHIGAN CONCERNED BY COMMENTS YOU MADE IN THE PAST.
01:16:29HERE'S A CHANCE FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT. >> WE MAY NOT AGREE ON
01:16:34EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO FOREIGN POLICY, I BELIEVE IN
01:16:36EQUAL RIGHTS, PEACE, DIGNITY FOR PALESTINIAN AND JEWISH ISRAELIS ALIKE.
01:16:40I'M NOT GOING TO STOP FOR FIGHTING PALESTINIAN SELF-DETERMINATION.
01:16:44ALL THE MONEY WE SPENT TO FORECLOSE ON IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT HERE.
01:16:47THE QUESTION OF WHERE WE SPEND OUR TAX DOLLARS SHOULD BE A
01:16:51FOREGONE CONCLUSION, IT SHOULD BE SPENT HERE.
01:16:53IF PEOPLE GET MAD ABOUT THAT, I UNDERSTAND.
01:16:55THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WILL NOT STAND UP FOR SAFETY FOR ALL
01:16:59COMMUNITIES. I BELIEVE IN THE SAFETY AND
01:17:03DIGNITY OF JEWISH KIDS LIKE THE SAFETY AND DIGNITY OF MY OWN KIDS.
01:17:08AND WE CAN SHOW IN MICHIGAN HOW
01:17:11WE CAN DISAGREE AGREEABLY ON SOME OF THOSE ISSUES HAVING TO
01:17:14DO WITH WHAT WE DO 6000 MILES AWAY AND SHOW WE CAN STAND ARM
01:17:18IN ARM TO PROTECT THE WELL-BEING OF ALL OF US HERE AT HOME.
01:17:22MOST THINGS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS TO
01:17:26UNDERSTAND THE MORE WE ALLOW PEOPLE TO DIVIDE US, ESPECIALLY
01:17:30THE PEOPLE LIKE MIKE ROGERS, WHO WANT TO OVERSTEP PUBLIC POLICY
01:17:34THAT TELLS US SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BELONG HERE AND CANNOT
01:17:38BELONG HERE, ALLOWING THEM TO DIVIDE US.
01:17:39LET'S SAY FOR ANY OF US, WE HAVE TO COME TOGETHER AS FOLKS
01:17:44UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE TOLD WE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF.
01:17:48I DO SOMETHING I'M COMMITTED TO.
01:17:50I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING THAT CONVERSATION.
01:17:54IF YOU INVITE ME IN, I WILL COME.
01:17:57WE MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE, BUT I WANT TO DEMONSTRATE HOW WE CAN
01:18:01DISAGREE AGREEABLY. WE CAN ADVOCATE FOR THE THINGS WE BELIEVE IN, KNOWING WE WILL
01:18:04BE SAFE TO DO SO, AND WE CAN
01:18:07BUILD AN AMERICA WHERE REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU PRAY,
01:18:10YOU'RE SAFE TO PRAY. >> THANK YOU, PRESS.
01:18:22>> THE ROAD TO THE CAPITAL RUNS THROUGH AMERICA'S BATTLEGROUND STATES. AND C-SPAN IS THERE.
01:18:27OUR CAMERAS ARE ON THE GROUND FOLLOWING THE CAMPAIGNS WHERE
01:18:31THE TOUGHEST RACES WILL DECIDE THE BALANCE OF POWER IN CONGRESS.
01:18:34WHERE THE ONLY NATIONAL TELEVISION NETWORK PROVIDING THIS LEVEL OF UNFILTERED ACCESS
01:18:38TO THE CANDIDATES, THE VOTERS,
01:18:41AND THE ISSUES SHAVING CAMPAIGN 2026. NO COMMENTATORS TELLING YOU WHAT
01:18:45TO THINK, NO PARTISAN SPIN. THE ROAD TO THE CAPITAL, ONLY ON
01:18:49C-SPAN. >> ON MONDAY, U.S. SENATE
