Euclid Maps Universe

The Euclid space telescope, launched by the European Space Agency in July 2023, is on an ambitious six-year quest to map the Universe. In its early days, it has already spotted 26 million galaxies, some stretching an astonishing 10.5 billion light-years away. This groundbreaking data will deepen our understanding of the elusive dark matter and dark energy that make up 95% of the cosmos.
