The European Space Agency's ambitious Euclid space telescope is on its way to decoding the secrets of dark matter and dark energy.
"Ground-based tests do not give you images of galaxies or stellar clusters, but here they all are in this one field," Reiko Nakajima, VIS instrument scientist, said in the statement."It is beautiful to look at, and a joy to do so with the people we've worked together with for so long."
Second, NISP can measure precisely how much light each galaxy emits — this latter bit can tell us how far away those galaxies are. The NISP images you see above are pretty similar to the VIS set in that the left side includes NISP's full field while the right shows a zoomed-in section.
