ESA Previews Euclid Mission’s Deep View of ‘Dark Universe’
- The Euclid mission, led by ESA and with contributions from NASA, aims to understand the universe's accelerating expansion and dark energy through billions of galaxy images.
- A recent data release by ESA provides a glimpse of Euclid's progress, analyzing images of galaxies captured by the space telescope.
- Observations of Euclid's deep fields, including 26 million galaxies up to 10.5 billion light-years away, were part of the data release.
- Euclid, launched in 2023, will observe over 1.5 billion galaxies during its six-year prime mission, studying the history of the universe's expansion.
- The mission seeks to investigate dark energy's influence on cosmic history, measuring the rate of expansion and changes over time.
- Euclid will create 3D maps of the universe to study dark energy, including the effects of dark matter through gravitational lensing.
- The released data covers 63 square degrees of the sky, with 2,000 square degrees observed to date and more observations planned.
- Euclid's deep field observations aim to reveal insights into dark energy and the universe's evolution, with upcoming cosmology data expected in 2026.
- Euclid's mission involves collaboration with NASA, with scientific contributions, instrument development, and data analysis supported by multiple teams.
- By studying distant galaxies and dark matter, Euclid aims to provide new clues about the fundamental nature of dark energy and the universe.
