Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Car

Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Car

The glow-in-the-dark Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope was printed from a NASA model. It floats in an inky black sky with the constellation Orion in the background (itself lit by an LED inside the car). The racing number, 2027, is the year the telescope will (hopefully) launch on its mission to study the Universe. The car was made by the Cubmaster, not a Cub Scout, who is an astronomer who knew Nancy Roman. Dr. Roman was the first head of astronomy at NASA and the first female executive at NASA.
