May 24, 2024ESA's Euclid space telescope launched in July 2023 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral.
Euclid has unveiled groundbreaking images showcasing celestial objects in unprecedented detail.
The telescope has studied galaxy clusters like Abell 2390 and Abell 2764, and galaxies such as Dorado and NGC 6744.
Euclid has also captured star-forming regions in the Milky Way and free-floating planets.
With its superior sensitivity and location above Earth's atmosphere, Euclid captures images four times sharper than ground-based telescopes.
The telescope can reveal millions of objects in just one day of observations.
Euclid's mission includes exploring dark matter and dark energy and mapping the large-scale structure of the universe.
The mission aims to revolutionize astronomy with valuable insights into the mysteries of the dark universe.
