Euclid Joins Webb and Gaia at L2 for Dark Matter Exploration

The Euclid space telescope, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA), has reached its destination orbit around the sun at the L2 Lagrange point, joining other space telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope and Gaia. This orbit provides stability and allows the telescopes to face away from both the Earth and the sun, avoiding heat and light interference. Euclid's mission is to observe distant galaxies and map the distribution of dark matter in the universe, providing insights into its nature. The next step is the commissioning phase before the telescope begins its scientific operations.
