NASA is set to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope at the end of August, which will help in understanding the universe and also in detecting potentially dangerous asteroids. Equipped with a 300-megapixel infrared camera, it can scan large areas of space, making it effective for planetary defense by identifying asteroids' trajectories and sizes.
