Scientists have unveiled the first pictures taken by the European space telescope Euclid.
The best gift for foodies: This 8-piece Japanese chef’s knife set with gift box, now $299 off!This image provided by the European Space Agency shows Euclids panoramic view of the Horsehead Nebula. The European Space Agency released Euclids first photos Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023 four months after the spacecraft was launched from Florida to study the dark universe, invisible yet everywhere.
Although these celestial landscapes have been observed before by the Hubble Space Telescope and others, Euclid's snapshots provide"razor-sharp astronomical images across such a large patch of the sky, and looking so far into the distant universe," the agency said. Euclid also took fresh photos of the Horsehead Nebula in the constellation Orion, a dramatic nursery of baby stars made famous by Hubble.
The observatory will survey billions of galaxies over the next six years, creating the most comprehensive 3D map of the cosmos ever made. NASA is a partner in the $1.5 billion mission and supplied the telescope's infrared detectors.
