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.
On 7 November 2023 ESA revealed Euclid's first full-colour images of the cosmos. The telescope has created razor-sharp astronomical images across a large patch of the sky, looking far into the distant universe. The first five images illustrate Euclid's full potential to create the most extensive 3D map of the universe yet. [14] [15]
The first five images captured by the Euclid telescope showcase glimmering clusters of galaxies and stars. The telescope, launched in July, was designed to create the most detailed 3D map of the ...
The telescope was designed to create a 3D map of billions of galaxies and other structures in the universe across space and time. ... The Euclid telescope spied a globular cluster — a huge ...
After initial commissioning and technical teething problems, including stray light and guidance issues, Euclid will now start piecing together a 3D map encompassing about a third of the sky to ...
The ‘huge mosaic’ covers an area in the southern sky more than 500 times the area of the full moon, ESA said.
IC 342 (also known as Caldwell 5) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis, located relatively close to the Milky Way.Despite its size and actual brightness, its location behind dusty areas near the galactic equator makes it difficult to observe, leading to the nickname "The Hidden Galaxy", [4] [1] though it can readily be detected even with binoculars.

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.
