When the universe was just a wee baby, a “fog” made it opaque, cloaking the 1st stars & galaxies. Once launched, @NASARoman will peer back to the universe’s early stages to understand how it transitioned from opaque to the brilliant starscape we see today:

This hypnotic global map shows concentrations of carbon dioxide moving through Earth’s atmosphere. But why is it pulsing? One reason: plants take up carbon dioxide during the day as they photosynthesize and then release it at night through respiration:
