Unveiling the Secrets of Dark Matter and the Universe's Expansion: Euclid's Discovery

The Euclid spacecraft, a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA, has successfully captured its first test images, indicating that it is on track to achieve its scientific goals. Euclid's mission is to explore the mysteries of the universe, including the nature of dark matter and the reason behind the universe's accelerating expansion, known as dark energy. The spacecraft will catalog billions of distant galaxies to create the largest-ever 3D map of the sky. With NASA's contributions, including the design and fabrication of the sensor-chip electronics, the mission is expected to provide valuable insights into the cosmos.
