In just one week, the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope has imaged over 26 million galaxies—some more than 10 billion years old. Its first scientific data release spans a patch of sky 300 times larger than the full Moon. The clarity of Euclid's deep field is astonishing: perfect Einstein rings, intricate galaxy clusters, and even the faint filaments of the cosmic web.
Euclid’s mission is one of the most ambitious in astronomy: to map the hidden structure of the universe and uncover the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. Where Hubble showed us the beauty of the distant universe, Euclid is revealing the invisible forces that shape it.
