Roman telescope's data deluge will change who gets to do big astronomy

Roman's main camera is what makes this possible. It will see the sky with Hubble-like sharpness but with a field of view more than 100 times larger. The spacecraft will also move, settle, and start exposing pictures very quickly, so it can tile the sky about 1,000 times faster.
