The Best in Science News and Amazing Breakthroughs
A mind-boggling number of shining galaxies, a purple and orange star nursery and a spiral galaxy similar to our Milky Way: new images were revealed fromScientific results were also published for the first time in the six-year mission, which aims to use its wide view to chart two billion galaxies across a third of the sky.
The image also pointed towards traces of dark matter, whose invisible presence can only be detected by looking at how its gravity distorts light. Another way the Abell 2390 image hinted at dark matter was by revealing the faint light of"orphan stars" drifting between the galaxy clusters. Another image, of the huge galaxy cluster Abell 2764, depicts a black expanse in which one yellow star stands out.
In the years ahead, scientists plan to sift through Euclid's data in the hopes of spotting all manner of celestial bodies such as"rogue" planets, which float freely through the universe unconnected to a star.
