That's why it's so good at studying things like the atmospheres of exoplanets and extremely distant early galaxies.Roman will see a much larger area of sky in each observation. Its major mission is to survey enormous portions of the universe to investigate dark energy, dark matter, galaxy evolution and exoplanets.So Roman isn't really "JWST but better." In fact, JWST has a much larger primary mirror and will generally be better for very faint, detailed infrared observations.But Roman will be far better at mapping huge areas of the universe quickly.And the really exciting part is that they're intended to work together: Roman can find interesting objects across huge areas, and JWST can then zoom in on selected targets for detailed study.</blockquote>
