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.
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.
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
The ‘huge mosaic’ covers an area in the southern sky more than 500 times the area of the full moon, ESA said. Euclid telescope reveals first ‘stunning’ piece of its map of the universe ...
Positioning an optical telescope in space eliminates the distortions and limitations that hamper that ground-based optical telescopes (see Astronomical seeing), providing higher resolution images. Optical telescopes are used to look at planets , stars , galaxies , planetary nebulae and protoplanetary disks , amongst many other things.
SPHEREx will use a spectrophotometer to perform an all-sky survey that will measure near-infrared spectra from 0.75 to 5.0 micrometers. It will employ a single instrument with a single observing mode and no moving parts to map the entire sky (in 96 different color bands, far exceeding the color resolution of previous all-sky maps [4]) four times during its nominal 25-month mission; the crucial ...
The telescope was designed to create a 3D map of billions of galaxies and other structures in the universe across space and time. ... In its first batch of full-color images, the Euclid telescope ...
In 2025, the Euclid Space Telescope found a complete Einstein ring surrounding NGC 6505. [5] With the help of the lens model some properties of the central region of NGC 6505 were estimated. One result is that the central region has an initial mass function that is heavier than predicted with Chabrier and a dark matter fraction of 11.1 +5.4
