ScienceWhat’s next for NASA’s new Roman Space Telescope?
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is already exceeding expectations. At a postlaunch press conference, NASA officials noted that the performance of the rocket that took the telescope to space was so picture-perfect that Roman will likely need fewer trajectory adjustments than planned. Lofted onboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Roman was “exactly where it needed to be,” said Denton Gibson, launch director of NASA’s Launch Services Program, at the press event.

USKeeping cool saves thousands of lives yearly, but at a cost of worsening global warming, experts say
Cooling from air conditioning saves lives — more than 5,000 a year in the United States alone — but it also heats up the planet and taxes our electrical grid, scientists say. As the world warms, heat waves strike nearly every continent and United Nations officials estimate that about half a million people die a year from heat, air conditioning is needed and being used more than ever. A study in Nature Health reported Monday that air conditioning saved nearly 58,000 lives between 2010 and 2020 in the U.S. Air conditioning use is skyrocketing around the world, with electricity demand from cooling expected to triple, according to the International Energy Agency and the United Nations Environment Programme.
