Expedition 72 Astronauts Resume Duties As SpaceX Crew-8 Descends to Earth

Euclid is a space telescope developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) designed to map the geometry of the dark universe, focusing on dark energy and dark matter.

Euclid's camera captures images with an astonishing 208 gigapixels, allowing for detailed observations of billions of galaxies across vast distances.

The telescope aims to create a detailed map of dark matter's distribution by observing the gravitational lensing effect, where light from distant galaxies is bent by massive objects.

The mission will conduct a wide-field survey, covering approximately one-third of the entire sky over a period of six years, generating unprecedented amounts of data.

By analyzing the distribution and shapes of galaxies, Euclid will shed light on how galaxies form, evolve, and cluster over cosmic time.

The data will allow researchers to study the large-scale structure of the universe, providing insights into the formation of cosmic webs and voids.

Euclid's findings will enable scientists to test and refine existing cosmological models, potentially leading to new theories about the universe's fate.
