Euclid Telescope Captures Stunning Images of the Universe's Mysteries
The Euclid space telescope, launched by the European Space Agency, has captured its first test images, revealing scintillating views of galaxies. The telescope's visible instrument, or VIS, will take images of billions of galaxies, while the Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer instrument, or NISP, will capture images of galaxies in infrared light. Euclid's primary goal is to observe and study dark matter and dark energy, which make up a significant portion of the universe. The telescope will create the largest and most accurate three-dimensional map of the universe, observing billions of galaxies to understand the evolution of the universe over the past 10 billion years.
