Beyond What We Can See ft. Ben Coley

In this episode, The Hoedlum sits down with Ben Coley from Celestial Events to unpack one of the most exciting new chapters in space exploration, the launch of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
Launched on 30 August 2026, Roman is now beginning its journey to help scientists see the cosmos from an entirely new perspective.
Ben explains what makes this telescope so significant, how its enormous field of view will allow astronomers to survey vast areas of space in incredible detail, and what it could teach humanity about some of the biggest mysteries in the universe.
With Roman able to capture a view of the sky at least 100 times larger than Hubble’s in a single observation, this mission is about more than simply seeing farther, it is about seeing the bigger picture.
What could we discover when we are able to observe billions of galaxies? How might our understanding of the universe change? And what new questions could Roman uncover along the way?
