ESA's Euclid Telescope Unveils Stunning Universe Images, Surpasses Hubble and Webb in Cosmic Mapping
  • The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope, launched 11 months ago, has revealed five groundbreaking new images of the universe, including the Horsehead Nebula.

  • These images provide valuable insights into rogue planets, lensed galaxies, and the evolution of the universe.

  • Euclid's mission is focused on studying dark matter and dark energy, creating a detailed 3-D map of the universe to aid in understanding star formation and cosmic structures.

  • The telescope's wide field-of-view allows scientists to study galaxies from when the universe was only 700 million years old, marking a significant leap in astronomical research.

  • Euclid's wider view surpasses that of NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes, with plans to create a cosmic map covering a third of the sky by 2030 to analyze dark matter and dark energy.

  • This milestone in space exploration offers new possibilities for further discoveries and shaping the future of our understanding of the cosmos.
