Euclid's Telescope Unveils Cosmic Origins and Ancient Cluster
The Euclid telescope has captured a detailed image of the NGC 6397 globular cluster, located in the Milky Way's disc, revealing insights into the galaxy's history. By distinguishing faint stars in the cluster's outer regions, Euclid's capabilities enable the search for tidal tails, which can indicate past interactions and help map dark matter within the Milky Way. This comprehensive imaging may provide new insights into the role of dark matter in the galaxy and the evolution of one of its oldest stellar structures.
