TL;DR Summary

The European Space Agency has released the first five science images from the Euclid space telescope, showcasing its wide-angle observatory capabilities. Euclid will survey one-third of the sky over the next six years, collecting an estimated 1 million images of billions of galaxies to study dark energy and dark matter. By measuring the distances and shapes of galaxies, scientists can infer the influence of dark matter and the mysterious force of dark energy, potentially rewriting astronomy textbooks. Euclid's wide field of view allows for panoramic and detailed views of cosmic wonders, such as the Horsehead Nebula, in a fraction of the time it would take other telescopes.
