TLDR
Live Science reports that NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has taken its first pictures while heading to L2, about a million miles from Earth. Its 300-megapixel camera captured hundreds of stars as blurry green rings. Once the Wide Field Instrument is calibrated, the report says it should produce images as clear as Hubble's while covering an area 100 times larger.
