Euclid is a wide-angle space telescope with a 600-megapixel camera to record visible light, a near-infrared spectrometer, and photometer, to determine the redshift of detected galaxies. It was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium and was launched on 1 July 2023 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. [10] [11]
Space telescopes that collect particles, such as cosmic ray nuclei and/or electrons, as well as instruments that aim to detect gravitational waves, are also listed. Missions with specific targets within the Solar System (e.g., the Sun and its planets ), are excluded; see List of Solar System probes for these, and List of Earth observation ...
The European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope aims to create the largest 3D map of the universe in the next six years. The observatory just completed the first piece.
The telescope was designed to create a 3D map of billions of galaxies and other structures in the universe across space and time. The mission aims to peer back as far as 10 billion years into the ...
Across the universe Zooming in on a portion of the Euclid telescope's map 600 times reveals the galaxies within the cluster Abell 3381, located 470 million light-years away from Earth. - ESA
A space telescope (also known as space observatory) is a telescope in outer space used to observe astronomical objects. Suggested by Lyman Spitzer in 1946, the first operational telescopes were the American Orbiting Astronomical Observatory , OAO-2 launched in 1968, and the Soviet Orion 1 ultraviolet telescope aboard space station Salyut 1 in 1971.
The new map represents one of the most precise measurements of how all the stuff in the universe is distributed across the universe. It mostly fits with our existing picture of the cosmos.
The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE / ˈ k oʊ b i / KOH-bee), also referred to as Explorer 66, was a NASA satellite dedicated to cosmology, which operated from 1989 to 1993.Its goals were to investigate the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB or CMBR) of the universe and provide measurements that would help shape the understanding of the cosmos.
