Feb 2, 2023 · ESA's Euclid mission is designed to explore the composition and evolution of the dark Universe. The space telescope will create a great map of the large-scale structure of the Universe across space and time by observing billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years, across more than a third of the sky.

Euclid is a wide-angle space telescope with a 600-megapixel camera to record visible light, a near-infrared spectrometer, and photometer, to determine the redshift of detected galaxies. It was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium and was launched on 1 July 2023 from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

On 15 October 2024, ESA’s Euclid space mission revealed the first piece of its great map of the Universe, showing millions of stars and galaxies.

Euclid is a fully European mission, built and operated by ESA, with contributions from NASA. The Euclid Consortium – consisting of more than 2000 scientists from 300 institutes in 13 European countries, the US, Canada and Japan – provided the scientific instruments and …

Euclid is an ESA mission to map the geometry of the Universe and better understand the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the energy budget of the cosmos.

On 15 October 2024, ESA's Euclid space mission reveals the first piece of its great map of the Universe, showing millions of stars and galaxies. This first chunk of the map, which is a huge mosaic of 208 gigapixels, contains 260 observations made between 25 March and 8 April 2024.

Oct 31, 2019 · Euclid is a medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to investigate the expansion of our Universe over the past ten billion years, probing cosmic epochs from before the expansion started to accelerate, all the way to the present.

Euclid is a European mission, built and operated by ESA, with contributions from NASA. Among its core objectives, Euclid will investigate the origin of the accelerating expansion of the Universe and the nature of dark energy, dark matter and gravity.
