TL;DR Summary

NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, in conjunction with other observatories, will provide unprecedented views of the dynamic cosmos. The telescope's broad field of view will reveal unknown objects and events, potentially leading to the discovery of new classes of cosmic phenomena. The mission's High Latitude Time-Domain Survey will focus on studying type Ia supernovae, which serve as "standard candles" for measuring cosmic distances and tracing the universe's expansion. The telescope will also capture the birth of black holes, tidal disruption events, and fluctuations in brightness of active galaxies hosting quasars. Additionally, the survey will allow scientists to explore the period of reionization and potentially make serendipitous discoveries.
