00:00And that right there is your whole trick. Because here comes the key number.
00:05Roman's primary mirror is 2.4 meters wide, exactly the same size as Hubble's. Yet,
00:14Roman has a field of view at least 100 times larger than Hubble's, with the very same razor
00:20sharp resolution. Picture it like this. Hubble looks through a drinking straw and delivers a
00:26fantastically sharp image of a tiny section. Roman delivers that same sharpness, but across an area
00:33100 times larger in each image. That sounds like a neat improvement, but in reality,
00:39it's a whole new way of doing astronomy, Roman. One thousand times faster than Hubble.
