On November 7, the European Space Agency released the first five images taken with its premier Euclid space telescope. The images show spiral galaxies, star nurseries, and incredible celestial objects in incredibly sharp detail. Perseus cluster of galaxies This group picture of 1,000 galaxies in a cluster 240 million light-years away. It is positioned against a backdrop of over 100,000 galaxies that are billions of light-years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles.
Euclid/Euclid Consortium/NASA, image processing by J.-C. Cuillandre , G. Anselmi Irregular galaxy NGC 6822 This first irregular dwarf galaxy is relatively close to use in space terms. It is only 1.6 million light-years from Earth and is a member of the same galaxy cluster as the Milky Way. In 1925, Edwin Hubble was the first to identify NGC 6822 as a ‘remote stellar system’ well beyond the Milky Way.
