"Euclid Space Telescope's Vision Restored Through De-Icing Procedure"

TL;DR Summary
Europe's Euclid space telescope, on a mission to investigate dark matter and dark energy, had its vision restored after a successful de-icing procedure melted a thin layer of ice that had been clouding its sight. The delicate operation involved warming up a single mirror on the telescope, which performed better than expected, allowing the telescope to continue its mission to create the most accurate 3D map of the universe by charting one third of the sky and shedding light on cosmic mysteries.
