There are more stars than astronomers!
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will transmit an unprecedented amount of data from its orbit a million miles away from Earth. Scientists expect it to average almost 1.4 terabytes each day, and after just five years of observations, it should total 20,000 terabytes on MAST, the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes. In comparison, the Hubble Space Telescope sends less than three gigabytes a day.
In this project, students will study available data from selected stars and analyze it.
