## Resource

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will use gravitational microlensing to detect isolated neutron stars normally invisible to telescopes. By tracking subtle distortions in starlight, astronomers hope to measure their masses, uncover hidden stellar remnants across the Milky Way, and better understand the boundary between neutron stars and black holes.
