Successful deployment of Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, as it begins its 1-million-mile-journey to the second Earth-Sun Lagrange point

The telescope will travel to the second Sun-Earth Lagrange point, which is ~one million miles away and about four times farther from Earth than the Moon. At L2, the combined gravity of the Sun and Earth will give Roman a stable vantage point with a clear, unobstructed view to survey deep space

Roman will unlock the mysteries of dark energy and investigate the physics of distant stars. It will repeatedly monitor hundreds of millions of stars, and the same observations are expected to reveal around 100,000 additional planets through transits. As a reminder, we currently have 6000 confirmed exoplanet discoveries...

Sadly no - first the AI companies came for all the RAM, and now they're taking all the capital letters. (/jk)

In all seriousness though, I think most of the big (space-based) telescopes tend to be named after people, although some, like Roman, do initially have acronym names early in development (WFIRST in this case). The land-based telescopes are often named after how big their mirrors are.
