To help Roman characterize the vast number of stars and planets in this region, astronomers used Hubble to observe many of the same fields that Roman will later examine in its Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey. Comparing Hubble’s earlier images with Roman’s new data will give astronomers crucial context, allowing them to interpret Roman’s observations with far greater precision.
