The European space telescope's instruments are sensitive enough to pick up the smallest galaxies, which were too faint to see until now.This image provided by the European Space Agency shows Euclid’s panoramic view of the Horsehead Nebula. The photos were revealed by the European Space Agency, four months after the telescope launched from Cape Canaveral.
In one picture, Euclid captured a group shot of 1,000 galaxies in a cluster 240 million light-years away, against a backdrop of more than 100,000 galaxies billions of light-years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. The telescope snapped pictures of a relatively close spiral galaxy that is a ringer for our own Milky Way. Although the Hubble Space Telescope previously observed the heart of this galaxy, Euclid’s shot reveals star formation across the entire region, scientists said.
By measuring the shape and movement of galaxies as far as 10 billion light-years away, astronomers hope to learn more about the dark energy and matter that make up 95% of the universe.
