TL;DR Summary

The Euclid Space Telescope, designed to conduct the most detailed three-dimensional mapping of the universe, has released its first color images from space. Euclid has the capability to measure the positions of billions of galaxies in three dimensions, spanning almost the entire observable universe. The images demonstrate the telescope's potential to unlock the secrets of dark matter and dark energy, which make up approximately 95% of the universe. Euclid will observe the shapes, distances, and movements of galaxies up to 10 billion light years away over the next six years, creating the most comprehensive three-dimensional map of the visible universe ever created.
