Images from the European Space Agency’s newest telescope show the power of instruments that will create 3D surveys of a third of the sky, covering 10 billion years of cosmic history.
Scientists leading the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope mission have just released its breathtaking first science images, taken only four months after launch. These new space photos reveal spectacular snapshots of the vast structure of the cosmos, including a massive galaxy cluster in the Perseus constellation, an object nicknamed the “Hidden Galaxy,” an irregularly structured galaxy, a globular cluster packed with myriad stars, and the gorgeous Horsehead Nebula.
But unlike galaxies, they lack dark matter. This is the second-closest globular cluster to Earth, about 7,800 light-years away. Everyone loves the Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, which is part of the constellation Orion. Two images from Euclid are shown below.
