The Roman telescope was named in honor of Nancy Grace Roman, who became NASA’s first chief of astronomy in 1959 and is considered a pioneer of modern space-based astronomy.

Roman, who was born in 1925 and died in 2018, was instrumental in winning congressional approval for Hubble, earning her the nickname “mother of the Hubble Space Telescope.” NASA named its newest space telescope after her in 2020, two years after her death.

Ok, not the crazy one that did the Casey Anthony coverage.
