The 18,000-pound spacecraft is now on a million-mile journey that will take it to its new home in space. What's next: Roman is on a kind of ghost hunt, searching for more evidence of dark matter — mysterious, invisible stuff whose gravitational influence appears to hold galaxies together and define the overarching structure of the cosmos.
