Washington, USA – NASA is close to taking an unprecedented scientific step, as it plans to begin the largest survey of seismic
disturbances sweeping stars in the depths of the universe, using its advanced Roman telescope.
This survey is expected to open the door to a more accurate
understanding of the internal structure of stars and how they evolve over time.
The mission relies on highly sensitive monitoring technologies
capable of detecting the slightest vibrations emitted by distant stars.
This gives scientists a rare opportunity to study “stellar quakes”
that cannot be detected by traditional means.
NASA…and the Roman Telescope
The Roman telescope is the cornerstone of this huge project
thanks to its imaging capabilities and wide optical area.
According to space experts, the data expected from this survey could bring
about a major transformation in astronomy.
This is achieved by providing information
that helps in understanding the age of stars,
their internal structure, and their evolutionary path.
This makes the mission one of the most important
scientific initiatives in NASA modern history.
