# Join the NASA Night Sky Network on **Thursday, October 22, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time (8:00 PM Eastern)**, with NASA scientist Rebekah Hounsell to learn about the next NASA flagship telescope, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. After launching at the end of the summer, Roman will undergo about 90 days of commissioning before sharing its first science releases. Roman will unveil the cosmos in ways never before possible. With a large field of view, fast survey speeds, and infrared sensitivity, Roman will reveal untold cosmic objects and shine a light on dark matter and dark energy. **NOTE:** This webinar begins one hour earlier than our standard webinar. We will return to our 6:00 PM/9:00 PM format in November.
