The ‘Euclid’ space telescope detects 900 million galaxies and begins mapping the universe in three dimensions
The European mission is trying to shed light on one of the great enigmas of humanity: what is the cosmos made of?
A European mission launched three years ago aims to answer fundamental questions about the universe. The spacecraft, carrying the Euclid space telescope, launched on July 1, 2023. It has now analyzed an area of the sky equivalent to 9,500 full moons and detected 900 million galaxies. These findings will help scientists create a detailed 3D puzzle of the universe.
